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..... Dennis

My video solution for Linux is:
1) VLC
2) MPlayer, rebuilt in a no-GUI-version, with w32codes from mplayerhq.hu and the plugin for Seamonkey.
Activate the rpmforge repos.
cheers,

And specifically which bits? I have searched rpmforge for "totem codec" "totem mov" and came up with items that I mostly deem irrelevant or indecipherable. The only candidate that I have located is:
http://rpmforge.net/user/packages/gstreamer-plugins-ugly/
It that the bit that I need?
