 However, you can use WINE (or the Crossover plugin, when it's available,

 have an i386 machine.  The WINE in Debian is not new enough, though.  You
 need a more recent WINE.  Once you have a recent WINE, you should be able
 to just install QuickTime and run it.

The only quicktime I have managed to get to work under wine is of the
2.x series. Are you sure you're running the latest quicktime? Is this
the same quicktime that let's you play, say:

Playing Quicktime movies on woody

2001-08-16 Thread Dominique Deleris 
Hello there,

I'd like to play QuickTime movies on my woody box, so I've
installed the following packages:

gxanim 0.50-6
xanim  2.80.1-13
xanim-modules  2.80.1.12

However, when I try to play a movie (Planet of The Apes trailer
for instance, I receive the following kind of messages:

XAnim Rev 2.80.0 by Mark Podlipec Copyright (C) 1991-1999. All Rights Reserved
  Video Codec: Sorenson Video not yet supported.(E18)
Unknown(and unsupported) Audio Codec: QDM2(0x51444d32).
  Notice: Video and Audio are present, but not yet supported.

Any idea or suggestion ? What am I missing ?

Thanks for your help...

I think you're out of luck. Check the following:

for an explanation.

It's telling you in the error message: Notice: Video and
Audio are present, but not yet supported.

The video clip is 'encoded' with the Sorenson codec. They own
it and aren't willing to let others support it, at least
without getting a license fee. There's more information at the
xanim website.

You are missing support for two codecs which xanim does not yet
support.  The problem with the Sorenson codec is that it is
proprietary; I am not familiar with the other.
