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...
