Enable the "Allow encoding with legacy QT CoDecs" option in the respective system control panel, if you haven't already. that aside, PS will simply never be able to use some CoDecs due to how its own render pipeline works. It's a constant annoyance even to PS users...

I was pretty much following along with Richard Harrington's book "Photoshop For Video" and he described transferring a video psd file to After Effects precisely the way I was attempting to do it. Are you saying something has changed in CS 6 to make his advice obsolete? Exporting as an animation file -- especially since I'm merely testing some concepts -- takes time and yields a file way larger than I need. All I need is a file the size and resolution of the one I started with. Even if rendering is now the only option in CS 6, why can't I access the other quicktime codecs in my system?
