CentOS-5.1
Is there anything special one must do to get the Totem shipped with CentOS-5
to display .mov files? When I try to view a file I get an error box with the
message:
Totem could not play 'file:///tmp/073_complex_forms_part_1.mov'.
Could not decode stream."

I can't say for sure, because I don't generally play .mov, but if I want
ANYTHING to play in totem, I usually need the gstreamer-ugly or universe
packages.
Not going to be available on a stock Centos Install.
You'll need to add a 3rd party repository.....

I'm not sure this is what you want to hear, based on the way you asked the
question, though.....
Even Fedora, Ubuntu, and others need these to play the "good"
stuff.....

I have searched rpmforge for "totem codec" "totem mov" and came up with items that I mostly deem irrelevant or indecipherable.
