Hello list,

I'm having trouble playing Apple's QuickTime <.mov> files on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS

First all, these are the codecs I've got installed:

w32codecs (version 20050412-1plf4)
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad (version 0.10.3-0ubuntu3)
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse (version 0.10.3-3)
gstreamer0.10-plugins-base (version 0.10.7-0ubuntu4)
gstreamer0.10-plugins-base-apps (version 0.10.7-0ubuntu4)
gstreamer0.10-plugins-good (version 0.10.3-0ubuntu4)
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly (version 0.10.3-0ubuntu3)
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse (version 0.10.3-2)
gstreamer0.10-x (version 0.10.7-0ubuntu4)
libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 (version 0.10.7-0ubuntu4)

Now, the MPlayer verbose output:

==========================================================================
Cannot find codec for audio format 0x32336E69.
Read DOCS/HTML/en/codecs.html!
==========================================================================

Prior to write this email, I've already read DOCS/HTML/en/codecs.html,
but there isn't any interesting information regarding this problem.

On a side note, there's a couple of curious things:

I can play the same file OK with Totem 1.4.1 (Ubuntu's built-in media player)
I can play Apple Trailers (those are in .mov format too)

So apparently the problem is with some specific version of QuickTime movies.

Here's a screenshot with the error message:

Ok, that's all, excuse me for my poor english skills and thanks in
advance! I'll be loking forward for any help.

Cheers,

Hernán.
