QuickTime X plugins causing problems?

Still after trying to export videos from QuickTime X they appear as a black screen with no audio.

Could it be any of these plugins causing a problem?

Plugins:

AC3MovieImport
AppleAVCIntraCodec
AppleHDVCodec
AppleIntermediateCodec
AppleMPEG2Codec
AppleProResCodec
DivX Decoder
DivX Encoder
DVCPROHDCodec
FCP Uncompressed 422
IMXCodec
MayaIFF
Perian

I'm trying to export using QuickTime X presets with a variaty of different source files, but nothing uncommon.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

Having both Perian and DivX codec components simultaneously installed can cause conflicts according to the Perian web site. You might want to review the complete list of known conflict causing components.

So removing either Perian or DivX should resolve the problem?

It may or may not fix your particular problem—but, it would remove one possible source of conflict. Frankly, many people are experiencing "black" screen issues with the problem being blamed on everything from conflicts with installed hardware devices to issues with security updates to problems with FCP file output. Since you did not provide any work flow specifics, it is difficult to classify your particular problem.
