PBS has a certain NOVA episode online that I'm trying to watch. The problem is I can't get mplayer to play it because it says unknown codec. Totem reports that it's a "gif" movie, although the movie it's talking about is only a couple kilobytes. I'm pretty sure I've got all the Quicktime codecs installed. Can anyone else get it to work? Edit: Realplayer works, but I hate Realplayer and it'd be bigger in Quicktime.

Have you tried VideoLanClient?
