  1. It's absolutely amazing how Apple gets away with such a crappy video implementation in iTunes. I think this is indicative of Steve Jobs not watching videos much in iTunes - it tends to have much better polish in places he spends his time. (Browse mode, iTMS, AutoFill.)

Might look around for an AppleScript solution (maybe an "open selection in QT Player" script menu item) if they don't fix this and it gets more annoying to me.
