I have some other smaller (but still too big for me to upload) files 
that produce the same problem, all Half-Life2 demos. I could play them 
using the Quicktime libraries, but not with the libavcodec svq3 codec.
What I found out back then is that Quicktime says, those are 32bit SVQ3 
files??? Maybe that is a place to start for anyone trying to fix...
