I downloaded "Patent Absurdity" (High Quality) from here:
http://patentabsurdity.com/download.html

It is an ogv file and wasn't recognised so I installed the Perian
QuickTime component in my account:
http://perian.org/

Now it is recognised and when I select the .ogv icon and hit the space
bar to invoke Quick Look it plays fine. When I double click the icon it
opens in QuickTime player, but the video does not start playing, it just
displays "Loading Movie..." and hangs there. Any ideas?

Details:
Mac OS X 10.6.3
QuickTime Player 10.0 (113)
Perian 1.2.1

Grabbing that and opening the Disk Image gives me XiphQT.component and
ReadMe.rtf which tells me to put it in Library/Components in my home
directory. But I already had XiphQT.component in there (whether it was
put there when I installed the Perian Pref Pane or it came from
somewhere else I don't know).

So that doesn't help. If I rename XiphQT.component then the video no
longer plays in Quick Look and when I restore it it does, but I still
get the "Loading Video..." hang when I double click it to open in
QuickTime Player. Clearly my XiphQT.component is working, otherwise it
would not play the video in Quick Look, but for some reason it doesn't
play in the QuickTime player.

I guess I should look for another .ogv file and see if I get the same
problem.

I left Quicktime Player (X) alone, but also set Quicktime Player 7 to
be the default.

i initially tried that but the system had other plans. only by zipping
qtplayer x could i make it cease interfering.
