Quicktime has it's own format (both the container *and* the contents).

With the command below, you create an MPEG-File which Quicktime simply
doesn't support.

Try "-o test.mov" (which will create the correct container). I'm not
sure how you have to encode the contents, though (ie. what content is
supported by Quicktime).
