Have you tried VLC by any chance? It may not work with the codec that

VLC in their features list does not mention QuickTime, so I will assume
it uses the same technology that mplayer does - that is, it utilizes
emulation of Windows codecs under foreign systems. Again, that isn't
going to cut it for my loverly 64-bit system.
Actually, VLC does support QuickTime (the "MOV" container format).
Experimenting with mplayer-bin under Gentoo it seems to work, but
suffers from interesting problems due to linking against odd library
versions. (For example, mine is unable to deal with spaces in names,
no matter how quoted or escaped I make it. ;)
I just tried the 20 Minute Wiki with VLC, and it doesn't work. I'm not
surprised that the "Apple Animation" codec is not supported. However,
if I do future screencasts in QuickTime format with DivX encoding for
the video and AAC for the audio, all should be well. Anywhere VLC
runs, the video should run.
yes, that combination would be playable everywhere...
but, well, the mov file right now uses the quicktime-rle format.
i don't know the internals, but isn't this codec lossless?
so, the same way that jpeg is not really suitable for screenshots, maybe
also divx is not suitable for screencasts?
because i tried for example istanbul (it creates an ogg theora stream),
and the resulting video was a bit blurry (the standard
screenshot-in-jpeg case) :(
