Hi, Carl.

That works around the problem. However, MPlayer does recognize the file 
format as Quicktime/MOV, so why doesn't it interpret the data correctly, 
as VLC did? It still seems that there's some MPlayer data handling error 
for it to be confused or sidetracked by whatever is in that file where 
VLC didn't get confused.
