Ooh, excellent. :) Thanks.

This would appear to be a bug with the ffmpeg svq3 decoder. You may want
to forward your email to ffmpeg-devel at lists.sourceforge.net (and
subscribe to that list if you want).

Meanwhile, if you just want to watch the trailer, you can install the
quicktime binary codecs and use mplayer -vfm qtvideo.
