Getting Cinelerra to do what you want could be daunting. Finding a build for 
FC3 will be the first challenge, then, finding all the dependencies for that 
build - at the end of that road, I really don't see why it would play given 
all the travails you guys are having. I did try the .avi of the German 
professor starting his lecture - is this the one you're all trying to play? 
Pardon me as I've not been following this whole thread. On my FC6 box with 
the "all-codecs" package from the Hungarian mplayer site, and the mplayer 
packages from FreshRPM's, I had no problem playing it

By the way, is this the same Darlene that was in Balata Camp?
