http://www.apple.com/quicktime/trailers/index.html Just finished watching the '007' quicktime trailer in MSWin (very cool), but my xanim's here in FreeBSD all croaked on it. Is anyone able to play this in FreeBSD with any tool, freeware or commercial? I'd sure like to know if you can. QT video playback is one of the few things I keep MSWin on this box for. BTW, I played this 480x248 clip full-screen in 1280x1024 at full frame rate using hardware scaling and interpolation (not sure about YUV->RGB colorspace conversion; could have been sending RGB for all I know), but anyway it was very nice. Hopefully this will be possible in XFree86 4.0 (+ or - Quicktime codecs). I was just thinking, what would be slick is to have a CGI page (trailers.freebsd.org?) that you can toss Quicktime URLs at, it would rewrap (or decode and reencode) in something your standard xanim could handle, and it'd post a link on a download page and send mail to freebsd-trailers. Heck, that'd be a list I'd join ;-) The Quicktime folks, trying to push their latest and greatest proprietary codec, probably wouldn't go for that though...
