MPlayer runs the QuickTime video fine, now that I put some effort into
it.  I now have two different versions of MPlayer installed.  One which
runs everything native 64-bit and one which is statically linked 32-bit
which uses the win32codecs package - which is 32-bit only.  Works well,
as most of my stuff is either XviD, DivX, or OGG.  Anything that
doesn't work, I use mplayer-bin... and it works.  ;)  I've yet to
encounter a video that I cared about that I couldn't play.
