It's even easier than that to build xine from source:

	rpm -ta xine-lib-1-beta12.tar.gz
	rpm -U /usr/src/rpm/RPMS/ppc/libxine1-1_beta12-1.ppc.rpm /usr/src/rpm/RPMS/ppc/libxine1-devel-1_beta12-1.ppc.rpm
	rpm -ta xine-ui-0.9.21.tar.gz
	rpm -U /usr/src/rpm/RPMS/ppc/xine-ui-0.9.21-1.ppc.rpm

As for the link for the Matrix Reloaded trailer, I used:

	http://www.movie-list.com/m/matrixreloaded.shtml

The QuickTime teasers use QDM2 audio so they will be video only, but the
QuickTime trailers (such as the 62 MB 640x480 full screen version) work
fine.  I also tried the 102 MB 1000x540 version from the main Matrix
site, but my dual 500 MHz G4 couldn't quite cut it and only played it
in fits and starts (but the parts that did play were awesome).
