Unfortunately, Quicktime isn't a codec in itself; it's just a wrapper 
for many different codecs.  Some of those codecs are patented, and many 
don't have a publicly-available format; so Linux quicktime players 
typically don't support the formats in which movie trailers (for 
instance) are encoded.

However.

There is an excellent quicktime player at:

I've not used it for movie trailers, but it *may* work.  I'll download 
the most recent version and give it a shot.
