We only use QuickTime for the video output (hardware-accelerated). We do not 
use QuickTime for codecs. That's why we are not subject to the infamous AVI bug.

We do not use QuickTime codecs, so no, there is nothing you can do.

RAM shouldn't be a problem. If I were you I would consider quitting running 
applications which may take CPU, for instance a mailer retrieving mail in the 
background, an IRC client, ICQ... Type "top -u" in a terminal.app to see which 
applications take CPU.
