I'm no good at 'puter stuff , this pretty much just needs to work. note - I have in the past downloaded videos from the same site, no problem. did upgrading OS or quicktime or something screw things up ? what to do ? also has said, OSStatus 1201 or something like that in recent weeks.
Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.6.8), have flip for mac ( is that it ?)
/* QuickTime Streaming Errors */
enum {
qtsBadSelectorErr = -5400,
qtsBadStateErr = -5401,
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

QuickTime Streaming Errors
qtsBadStateErr = -5401
implies that something's amiss with streaming. What? I've not a clue, since I don't do streaming stuff. If you can DL the videos, then streaming shouldn't come into play.
I thought this was official Apple ... is the company becoming Microsoft like - ignoring product glitches in favor of pushing new ( not upgrade)
forget constant phoney upgrades - reliability. reliability. reliability.
Just other users here for the most part, you could send feedback to Apple, but they won't likely fix 10.6.x, or 10.7.x, maybe not even 10.8.x
What is ' OSStatus error 5401 '?? try to load a video, doesn't. OS 10.6.8 have flip for / WMV
