Playing multiple movies consecutively
If I download 5 clips from the internet and want to play them in succession, how would I do that?
iMac
Copy and paste the videos into a new player.

Do I select new player first, then copy and paste the links? Do I have control of the order in which they play?
You answered your own question. Why not just try it.
What do you mean by links?

Yea, it doesn't work or what's more likely - I'm not doing it right. I have a bunch of movies in the downloaded folder, then I open "new movie" then I copy the downloaded file and hit paste, and all that happens is I get a movies of the file name. I'm missing something basic here.
What is the codec/format of these moives? Open one of the movies (in quicktime) and hit the Apple key + i to get this info.
Can you provide the URL where you download these movies from?

Making one long file from 5 short ones would require the QuickTime Pro upgrade to "join" the 5 segments into one.
You can open all five files and close one window and open another if all you wish to do is view them.
But you can't join them together without the Pro upgrade.

I have the pro upgrade. All I'm trying to do here is create a simple playlist and I can't see how to do that immediately
Open all of the files.
Select the second one. Command-A (Select all) and Command-C (Copy).
Switch to video number one. Move the timeline to the end of the file. Command-V (Paste).
Repeat with the other 3 files.
Save As (to make a new file).
Done.

I don't get it - while the movies are playing? It keeps dinging at me
Open all of the files and stop playback to you can enter edit mode.
How do I enter edit mode. Why can't I simply make a playlist?
SimpleMovieX should be able to create a playlist for you.

The demo is free and it works slower than the full version. You should be able to create a movie playlist with it.

I'm not sure I follow this. So basically QT can't make playlists? If I download 10 QT files, I have to open up ten little QT players to see them? Can't I just open them in one player, and hit "next" to see the next one? I detest Windows Media Player, but I'm pretty sure it can do this. Why can't QT? And no, I don't consider the problem "solved" if everybody suggests just using another application, like iTunes, or Simplemoviex.
Use the Automator application to make a "Play All Movies" action and save it as a droplet.
Drag a folder of files (doesn't matter what format as long as QuickTime Player understands them) onto it.
Sit back and view (or listen).

This is absolutely ridiculous that you can't select mulipule movies, right click, play, and have the result be that QT makes a playlist.
Severely ridiculous.
