I get the same thing.

I found this, too, with some quicktime videos on a university website.  
sometimes the format works and other times it doesn't. 

Typically, i've found it is the fault of the website author.  They often put 
in unnecessary tags that make video not work.

I also tried it with ies4linux and that didn't get me much farther.

you did submit a trouble ticket?  i just did.
