Quicktime is a wrapper format, like AVI, and can use a bunch of
different actual codecs. It's likely to be Sorrenson that you're
struggling with. Download and install the binary codecs for mplayer and
you'll probably be fine:

This seems to have some Ubuntu-specific instructions:

MPlayer which shipped with Knoppix, didn't seem to work for me under KDE. So, I
downloaded Helix (from memory via Synaptic package manager, but it could have
been KPackage) to view Theora/Ogg stuff - which works fine. more at
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helix_project>
However, when I did a google search, the first thing that came up about the
Helix Player was stuff about a vulnerability.

Any comments?

PS For anyone interested in Knoppix, I have now added a Postscript, to the talk
I gave at the May Slug camp, which describes my install process.
