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.

  1. Warning.. ultra high res needs a fast machine by James_G · · Score: 5, Informative
    The 1000 pixel one needs a fast machine to play it. My P3-800 at work couldn't manage it. They recommend at least a 1GHz machine for it.

    Alternatively, you can download the small, medium or Large versions.

    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.

    MPlayer error: requested audio codec does not exist.

    You need to get the 'faad' codec for MPlayer--
    "http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/codecs.ht ml#aac" for a howto.

    Then you can recompile MPlayer and all is good

  5. Mplayer audio/sound problem: aac and faad by Gyorg_Lavode · · Score: 3, Informative
    While to say, "I have solved" would be somewhat incorrect since I didn't solve jack, I just put the pieces together, I can tell people how to make the audio work for this, (and the animatrix movies).

    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
