Issue with 5D mark iii and Ninja 2 files

Just used Ninja 2 with 5D mark iii for first time. I setup the menu, mirroring, etc. as it should be, at least according to Mr. Stefan Czech. I offloaded mov files from 5D and from Ninja 2. In Mac's Finder 5D files have standard QT thumbnail instead of screenshot thumbnails. When I play them on Mac's Quicklook (Preview in Finder), I get solid black for video. Audio is there, video isn't.

Now, to confuse you further, when I transferred the Ninja 2 mov files to MacPro I see the proper thumbnail, but I also only get black in the window. The playbar moves, but no image.

Then, using QT to open the Ninja 2's 4.2.2 mov files, I get black and the playbar does nothing.

However, when importing those 4.2.2 mov files into Final Cut Pro, all is good. Go figure.

So have I lost my footage? No. Can I tell what is what w/o bringing it into FCP? No. Still stinks, but more than anything, makes me uneasy b/c I know this can't be right. I have not encountered this with 5D files shooting w/o the Ninja 2, nor have I encountered it on Ninja 2 files when shooting on C100.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I'm beginning to realize that this is more of Mac issue. YouTube videos, Vimeo, and all older MOV files in Finder do not play video - only audio. Odd.
Sorry to post it here.
