Can you give us the actual URL? Digging them out of apple's website and
reference files is annoying, and I might have found a different trailer
from the one you're having trouble with.

The file from the above URL works fine for me with a recent CVS build of
mplayer, using either ffmpeg svq3 or the quicktime dlls.

Actually, you're using the open-source decoder from libavcodec (that's
the default). You can force using the quicktime dlls with `-vfm
qtvideo'. If the dlls work and there seems to be a bug with libavcodec's
svq3 decoder, you should definitely report it to ffmpeg-devel at lists
dot sourceforge dot net (but you should probably try CVS first).
