I suspect this error is related to a software issue rather than a failing piece of hardware.
One source describes Type 3 errors like this: "This is called an illegal instruction error. It means that the MAC tried to execute an instruction that isn't part of its standard vocabulary. The cause may be an out-of-date system extension or hard disk driver." This link might help: http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/1cf36.htm Some sources also suggest updating your version of Quicktime. Finally, you might explore the Apple Support site.
