This intrigues me, as I haven't found quicktime support yet. I went to
the mplayer site, downloaded the current tar (20020707) file, compiled
and installed it. All I can get is the audio of a .mov file, no
video. I get diagnostics about an unsupported video codec, and I tried
the suggestions (update ~/.mplayer/codecs.conf) and read docs on 
codecs, but no Quicktime. I pulled up a .mov off of apple.com/quicktime
just for testing (movie trailer of the Two Towers).

Did yours work out of the box? Did you CVS ? I imagine what I got is the
same (or a snapshot) of the latest stuff from CVS.
