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."

# rpm -qi totem
