Unfortunately, it seems that this particular .mov is turning up problems with
both mplayer and xine.  They both can handle Animatrix 1 and 2 fine, but this
third one seems to skip the first few seconds of sound but not video, so the
sound is lagged.

Hopefully it is something that will be fixed in the next release or two, they
have a pretty good track record with fixing this sort of thing.  Apparently
quicktime movies are challenging to work with.  In the meantime I can at least
play it with quicktime under wine.
