Quicktime problem - anyone know what causes this?

Here are the inspector results from two quicktimes, created on the same machine in the same way, yet there are two slight differences. I didn't think this would be a problem yet a friend is having trouble using them in Pro Tools.

It seems the "bad" one (in red, left) has the audio format listed first, followed by the video format. In Pro Tools, when it tries to import the clip it only sees the audio and basically says 'this isn't a video file' and stops the import. The file on the right in green works perfectly fine.

Now I've also done a test whereby I take a "good" clip and did a small trim to selection then exported out a test, only to find this test is now "bad". I did this on my own seperate machine, which implies the encoding on the original may not be as great even on a so-called "good" clip.

Does this sound like a quicktime issue? Or an encoding issue from the original capture software?

I'm running Quicktime 7.6.4 on Mac Mini's running 10.5.8. I am contemplating rolling back quicktime to an earlier version but not sure if that'll fix it. Any thoughts?
 
No problemo. Stand back and hold your breath while I perform the supercilious Mod Hand Jive. Wheee-ooooo.
