Is there a link to download it instead of having it play in the browser?

After doing some checking the file seems to be encoded using the Sorenson 3 codec... This format isn't support in linux, however IIRC there is effort to add support for it but AFAIK (and as far as it seems...) it still does not work for all files.
It complains about JFIF which I beleive is part of JPEG or something like that... I'm going to try emerging a few jpeg packages and see if it is just that they are needed...

take a look at the comments to animatrix on slashdot.
someone mentions a patch for the mplayer sources.
Haven't yet tried it, but it seems to work. |

| If it was Sorenson 3 it would be no problem, but it is in Moving jpeg format. Look at the codecs page of mplayer, it's not in there yet. Could someone post a link to the mentioned patch? |

Add this to end of your src_unpack() function in your mplayer ebuild (I'm using mplayer-cvs):
| Code: | # Apply demux patch
cd ${S}/libmpdemux; patch < ${FILESDIR}/patch-demux || die "demux patch failed" |
Assuming you saved the patch as "patch-demux" in the mplayer files dir. If not change filename references accordingly
EDIT: There was an issue with extra whitespace in the patch before. I have fixed it now and it should be good. Copied and pasted from my own machine. |

A helpful hint to play the animatrix movie with sound syncing:
| Code: | | mplayer-cvs -delay -10.25 animatrixlgfinal_dl.mov |
the "-delay -10.25" will push the audio back to sync up with the video. |

I can view the first Animatrix episode with rc4 but on the second episode I keep getting:
| Code: |
Cannot find codec for audio format 0x6134706D
|
I click the "OK" button and it keeps playing although with no sound. I've tried Alsa09, OSS, and aRts. Anybody else getting this? |

Yes, I get the same results, swingarm. The first one plays correctly (as long as I don't try to seek anywhere, then the audio gets completely out of sync), but the second one is without sound. I get the same error as you. (This is with a patched rc4 version)
The mplayer.hu website indicates that 0x6134706D is supposed to be the libfaad2 driver, but it doesn't appear to be loading. I even tried forcing it with the "-ac faad" option, but that didn't work either. I suspect that the codec is refusing to decode the stream because it thinks it doesn't know how, but that's just a guess right now. I don't think it has to do with the audio output (ALSA, OSS, etc), but with the audio decoding. I'll try to look more at it tonight.
Maybe someday we'll have a good video format that everyone can use and we'll laugh about the days when we tried for hours to watch a 5 minute clip :) |

| the second animatrix movie can be played perfectly with xine from cvs ( i have it from cvs ( not as an ebuild ), but i think the xine-cvs ebuilds should be enough ) |

I have a question for those who have audio working in the Animatrix clip. What version of libfaad2 are you using? I downloaded and made an ebuild for libfaad2-1.1. Then I re-emerged mplayer-0.90_rc4 so that it would have support for libfaad2. libfaad2 is found during ./configure. However, mplayer gives the following output and no sound is played:
| Code: |
Opening audio decoder: [faad] AAC (MPEG2/4 Advanced Audio Coding)
dec_audio: Allocating 4608 bytes for input buffer
dec_audio: Allocating 12288 + 65536 = 77824 bytes for output buffer
FAAD: Failed to initialize the decoder!
ADecoder init failed :(
ADecoder init failed :(
get_path('codecs.conf') -> '/home/deuce/.mplayer/codecs.conf'
*** Try to upgrade /home/deuce/.mplayer/codecs.conf from etc/codecs.conf
*** If it still does not work, read DOCS/codecs.html!
Cannot find codec for audio format 0x6134706D.
|
I edited the mplayer source and discovered that the initialization of libfaad2 returns -1, and mplayer interprets this as an error. The initialiation function is faacDecInit2() in /libfaad/decoder.c
If you don't know what version of libfaad2 you installed, try running faad and looking at the top of the output for a version.
Thanks |

Well, I haven't gotten the second clip working in mplayer. I got the first one working by using the rc4 version and applying the patch found above. The video for the second clip works just fine, but I get the same error as you for the sound (I downloaded and installed the faad library separately from http://faac.sf.net/ because there doesn't appear to be any ebuild for it yet). I saw some posts such as this one that in theory makes it work. But even after fixing the patch so it applies correctly (it must have been made against an earlier version of mplayer), sound still doesn't work.
So, my final solution was to do what everyone else was doing -- emerge the latest version of xine-lib (beta6, I believe) and use Totem to watch it :) This actually wasn't the worst thing to happen, since I've discovered that Totem/Xine is actually a pretty decent way to watch videos. |

Using mozilla, I can't find a patch there, only email body with some garbage beneath.

Hi,
The attached patch is a hack to make the Animatrix2 audio work
correctly, though I don't know enough about the mov format to make a
proper fix.
