phreak404 writes "The full theatrical trailer for The Matrix Reloaded was released today. Its in Quicktime, 1000px by 540px, and weighs in at about 100MB. Looks awesome and unlike the previous teasers, actually has some of the plot." As soon as someone puts up a bitorrent we'll post it here.

Interesting to say the least but a few of the effects looked a little plastic. It should be a good 2 hour ride though. I'm still wondering which shot "will be so expensive that no one will every copy it."

This post shows why "the mysterious future" is a good thing!
A little experimenting indicates that there are other resultions:
640 pixels (58 MB) and 320 pixels (17.4MB) are available.
There may be others as well, I didnt try many posibilities.
Zip adds error detection though, so you dont get halfway through watching it then have it freeze. It also lets it pass firewalls and prevents browsers from trying to stream it.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
It's not an official thing /. does, it's something the BitTorrent community does.
/. editor to have them modify the comment to include a bittorrent, just coincedence the last two bittorrents have been of stuff hosted at AOL.
Because of this, posters kinda have to come to us, or we have to catch the post in time to make a bittorrent of it, and relay it to a

MPlayer error: requested audio codec does not exist.
t ml#aac" for a howto.
You need to get the 'faad' codec for MPlayer--

Then you can recompile MPlayer and all is good
Quicktime 6 uses this new "AAC Audio" standard to replace MP3: http://www.apple.com/mpeg4/aac/
I'm using Quicktime 5 and mine won't play sound either, in Windows XP. Looks like I'll have to "upgrade." The video quality itself, however, is absolutely amazing.

Trailer
Why are coming attractions of movies called trailers, especially when they come at the beginning of the film? They're called that because they used to to be spliced on the end of the feature film.
To understand this, you have to harken back to the days when movies were shown continuously in theaters and audiences were allowed to sit through multiple showings of the same movie--the start times were published, and if you came in late you simply sat through the next showing until you came to the point "where you came in." This is not that long ago--I remember when this used to be the practice.
The coming attractions reel would be spliced onto the end of the last reel of the movie, hence trailer. From the perspective of the audience member who arrived on time or a little early, the coming attractions would appear before the feature, even though technically it was at the end.
The term dates to 1928.
How would multicasting have helped with this? Isn't multicasting only good for having multiple sources trying to receive the same data at the same time---e.g., broadcasting?

it is an enhanced version of windows media playe 6.4
as long as you have quicktime and real player installed (or figure out how to install the codecs), it plays the movies!
much faster, none of the crap, easy full screen. what more can you ask for?

I think that's a both very general and apt summary of Apple software on Windows - QT is far from as bad as it gets. WebObjects for windows is a disgrace. Buggy; unmaintaned; just installing it reduces the staiblity of your machine; slow; written in a braindead way so that the frame abstraction acts like it would on a mac (except buggy); too much stuff bundled in the same processes; lots of services running you don't need and which are difficult to get rid of; etc, etc, etc.
Believe with me, my saplings.
Basically, as others said, the problem is that the new quicktime movies us aac (advanced audio codec) audio instead of mp3 like older quicktime files. The solution of course is to install aac support for mplayer.
To do this, first you must install the codec. The codec that supports aac is available at audiocoding.com. It's called FAAD2. I used the cvs (1.2 beta) so I don't know if the stable 1.1 will work. (The 1.1 requires a small patch to get it to compile with newer forms of the libsndfile or forms of gcc > 3.) Other than that it compiled fine. The second change is that the libraries for faad are installed in /usr/local/lib. Apperently mplayer doesn't, by default, look in /usr/local/lib. I symbolically linked the libraries to /usr/lib (where mplayer DOES look), but I assume you could add /usr/local/lib to the search path.
Hopefully this helps many of the peopole who want to run these and other quicktime files on linux. Mplayer has made great strides and while it's not perfect, (crashes if you try to run 2 qt files back to back without restarting), it is the best there is for linux, (or for that matter any other system). (As an alternate note, the rpm faad2-1.1-fr1.20030409.i386.rpm does not work. While it installs to the correct place, the mplayer config is not able to detect the version of faad from it.)

I *NEVER* keep anything in quicktime format. As soon as this download finishes, it's going straight through EO Video to DiVX, and probably to VideoCD :)
Cadillac "donated" 300 of their cars to the film. Apparently they were able to destroy every single one. TheHandlessKing
