Re: Quicktime *.mov player

[Matheson Cameron <cmatheson3@yahoo.com>]

Hey,

thanks for the help, I almost have this figured out. 
I downloaded gxanim, and xanim-modules.  When it tried
to configure xanim-modules, I had to bail, because I
don't have FTP working through my proxy server.  I
downloaded the files on another machine, and copied
them over to mine in /usr/local/tmp/xanim-modules.  I
then ran `update-xanim-modules
/usr/local/tmp/xanim-modules', but it gave the
followint error:

Downloading and installing from
file:/usr/local/tmp/xanim-modules/
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/sbin/update-xanim-modules", line 229, in
?
    main()
  File "/usr/sbin/update-xanim-modules", line 170, in
main
    if pasv:
NameError: pasv

What does that mean?  I manually untarred the files
into /usr/lib/xanim, but it didn't help, now when I
try `xanim ff8.mov`, it says:

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.

so I guess something didn't work, any help would be
appreciated

Thanks,
Cameron Matheson
