It sounds like you haven't given QT enough time to load the video content. I think the audio content loads much faster. I bet if you just wait, the screen will come back once the content loading catches up to where you are in the movie.

If u have upgraded to Snow Leopard - the upgrade puts QT 7 in Application/Utilities folder and installs QT X in App folder. Try running QT 7 from Utilities folder and loading your movie.
