Final Cut Pro 4: Stops Responding When Rendering Non-DV Clip With QuickTime 6.4

Final Cut Pro stops responding when you render a clip that doesn't use the DV codec. The cursor turns into a progress indicator (looks like a colored pinwheel).

This may occur most frequently when you render clips from LiveType because LiveType uses the Animation codec instead of the DV codec.
