Thanks!
I looked at the video settings, and even though there wasn't anything about
a graphics mode of copy dither (I just upgraded to QT5) the problem was
fixed when I clicked "safe mode".
So Thanks!

There may be a way round this problem then. It seems that your video
is using hardware acceleration to play the Sorenson, and doesn't have
enough VRAM to support the higher resolution. Someone suggested a
solution to another Sorenson problem recently that might apply here.
Go into the movie in QuickTime Player and set the video track to a
graphics mode of Copy Dither. That's enough to make the accelerator
think it can't handle it, and so won't interfere with the video.
It'll still play back fine when DTS.
