Hi,

I received a few quicktime files from a friend; however, when I play it
there is no video. The audio stream is fine. My friend can play it fine
in the application "Media Player Classic" for Microsoft Xp.

The interesting packages are 

% emerge -pv libquicktime mplayer

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Total: 2 packages (2 reinstalls), Size of downloads: 0 kB

The file in question is 

% file  Course.mov
Course.mov: Apple QuickTime movie (fast start, compressed header)

Any pointers would be handy.
