OK my mistake.  I checked on CS5, CS5.5 and CS6 and in all cases if a Quicktime has an embedded tag for colourspace, you can't override it.  This is kinda annoying for my current situation.

What's the best way to work around this?  I'm guessing I need to delete a metadata tag somehow, any suggestions?  I have some Quicktimes that don't have a colourspace tag and some that are rec709, so I know it's possible to have a movie file without a colourspace tag at all...
