Hi Yuma, As a followup to my suggestion to try unchecking the "Show Icon Preview" option in Finder, I realized that an easier way to disable this en masse is simply to use Command-J (shortcut for "Show View Options" from the View menu on the Finder menu bar), and then VO-Down arrow to the "Show Icon Preview" option checkbox in the menu and uncheck this with VO-Space. If QTKitServer is starting up because it's trying to generate preview icons for corrupt or incomplete video media files on your media hard drive, this will at least stop it from automatically firing up when you display directories with these files in Finder. And this method doesn't involve selecting any files at all -- it will work from a directory level (if this is, indeed, a solution).
