Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, I have not been able to double-click on movies to view them from within iPhoto '08 like I could under Leopard. When I clicked, nothing would happen. Tonight I found the solution.
In Apple's discussions forum, I learned that Snow Leopard installed a newer version of QuickTime called QuickTime X. Older movie formats on most point and shoot cameras are not compatible with that. Therefore, it's necessary to install QuickTime 7.
Here's the catch. Supposedly on some Snow Leopard Install CDs you can find the QuickTime 7 app in the 'Extras' folder. However, not in mine.
Fortunately, the discussion thread referenced above provided a link to a Snow Leopard version of QuickTime 7 [click here]. You must use this download link to install QuickTime 7 for it to work with iPhoto '08.
I downloaded, installed, and within minutes (and without restarting anything), my movies are once again opening automatically in QuickTime when I double-click from within iPhoto '08.
Huzzah!
