Just keeps getting better.  Just a few things:

When I last used radiosity with an animation, I did a quick pass with both
load_file and save_file on each frame to accumulate radiosity data.  This got
rid of the flickering almost entirely.  I'm not sure if this is proper
technique, but it worked anyway.

What about some hazy blue mountains in the background?  I know it's a work in
progress, but it feels like it's floating in space without anything to frame
it.

The roofs look like they could use a little structure.  The form is great, but
most of the roofs look like a single solid piece, which isn't really practical.
 Like this, for example:

Don't worry.  By the time someone is critiquing minutiae like this, you know
it's lookin' good.

Better and better. Where will it end? (no pun intended)  :-)

Didn't say what was missing or where I might obtain it.

apple.com/quicktime

If that doesn't work, then maybe it's in divx or something.

divx.com

Isn't there an xvid, too?

xvid.com

When all else fails, MPlayer or VLC usually pull through for me.

H.264:
Selected video codec: [ffh264] vfm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg H.264)

Dunno where to get it for Windows nor Apple, though.

Quicktime should be able to play that if it is up to date, but that one should
also be covered under VLC or MPlayer, which you may have better luck with on
Windows.

Thinking on this, I bet you could do an awesome video with a bit of 
planning. Angle the camera down so you can't see the horizon or behind, then 
generate the castle as you go rather than all as one static scene, and do a 
five-minute never-repeating fly-over. Perhaps even be clever and arrange for 
the final bits to merge seamlessly with the initial bits, so you can loop 
the video. Then you'd *really* have an endless palace.
