The video is a proprietary Microsoft video format that can't easily be played back yet.

If you're on x86, you might be able to make it work if you install pitfdll and grab the appropriate .dlls (w32codecs).

Otherwise you'll have to wait either until the ffmpeg folks reverse-engineer the format, or until Fluendo makes plugins that can decode this format available (for pay).
