It means there is no decoder for this video encoding. Did you try Gspot to see if it can find a codec for you?

It's over at http://download.cnet.com/GSpot/3000-2248_4-10381198.html

Some folk can't download today. it's discussed elsewhere so no need for me to write more.

Try other download locations you find with google.

I would think Bob has got the GSpot CoDec utility already.
