Yes, I have a file which is played fine (encoded XVID 4)

I tried the above (just changed mp3lame to pcm - my mplayer compiled 
without mp3lame), does not work.

Some other ideas?
Should I post more details on the quicktime file I'm trying to convert, 
or on the file which is OK on my dvd player?

Anyway, thanks for the comments.
