QuickTime won't save ("This operation could not be completed")

I've done several Full Screen Recordings that are very important, but none of them will save using the File > Save option OR the File > Export options.


Running QuickTime 10.3 on a Mac Book Pro (OS 10.9.5, 2.7GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM). This should work just fine. User uploaded file


There's no help I've found on the internet or these help forums that are new enough to be relevant. Help!

Mac Book Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.5)

User uploaded file


i clicked it and selected mail (don't worry if you don't have it setup, i don't think it matters)


User uploaded file


this took a while but it opened mail and opened a new mail window with the video as an attachment


I simply right clicked on the image of the attachment, and saved attachment!!!!! (or i could have control-clicked)


SAVED NO PROBLEM
