Thanks for the attachment, Adrian.
Through this I discovered there is no pasp atom on my file. Still, when I
bring it into Nuke I see a the file normally, but in Quicktime player it is
squashed. Very strange.

Thanks for the links, Wouter. The ATomic Dumpster is a PowerPC application,
so it doesn't work anymore. But if I get my hands on a Windows box, I'll
give the other thing a try.

Cheers,
Ron Ganbar
