Well, I'm on FC6 and when I go into the archives and look for package
libXv for FC3, I don't see it. But it does exist for FC6. Packaging
might have changed a lot between FC6 and FC3.

Do you have the libXv libraries (maybe from some other package):

/usr/lib/libXv.so.1
/usr/lib/libXv.so.1.0.0

If not I don't know what else to check. I was just guessing that
perhaps the error was caused by not having the dynamic library
for the XVideo extension (libXv). But I'm on FC6 and using
mplayer from livna and a custom compiled version of mplayer.

I also downloaded a few MB of that video and it started to
play OK for me with mplayer. Have you been able to play
any other HD videos of that resolution?
