I've been having this exact same problem (same movie) and I've found what 
causes it, at least on my machine - it's the XV_DOUBLE_BUFFER option in the 
video settings. If you turn that off it works again.

I also have no trouble playing other movies with this option enabled. On the 
other hand, my video card is an ATI Radeon 9800XT (I'm using XFree86 4.3 with 
the ATI binary driver version 3.2.8). This is indeed a strange problem - I'm 
pretty sure I used to be able to play this trailer just fine before, but it 
might have been with a different version of the ATI driver.

Cheers,
Paul
