What that means is that xanim doesn't know how to decode the video and audio portions of the QT movie.

If you want to play this file, you'll just have to do it in another OS. The Sorenson codec (the one used in most recent movie trailer clips, like Star Wars etc) is controlled by Apple, and they wont let anyone else use it. They only write players for Windows and Mac. No Linux player exists which can decode Sorenson video. Has anyone tried running the windows quicktime player under wine? Maybe this works?
