Anyone get "Elephant's Dream" to work?

[Paul King]

Hi

According to the rave reviews given by LUG Radio, Elephant's Dream is the first 
Dreamworks-quality, all-digital animation based entirely on open-source products. 
It is not feature-length, so I can't call it a "movie" exactly. It is about 20 
minutes long, and has one version that is done for high-definition TV.

The GIMP, for example, was used to make most of the images you saw. I don't 
recall about how the movement happens. The format is AVI, that, as far as I can 
tell, has no codec known to man that can properly play it.

I got nowhere under Debian Sarge. XMMS, XINE, and Totem couldn't play it at all; 
and under Windows, the only player that recognised it was DIVX, but alas, DIVX 
could not render the sound. The kind of data was called "Tag 8192", whatever that 
is. 

The high-definition format played jerkily for me (my processor speed is likely 
too slow), while the "1024" format ran at a decent speed.

Anyone know how to play this sucker back with full audio?
