Tipically I use xine engine with totem, instead of gstreamer. You can do: yum install totem-xine then you can use totem-backend to verify if setting xine as backend solves the problem and eventually set it as the default engine for totem. [gcecchi@tekkaman ~]$ totem-backend --help Error: No backend name passed. Usage: - As root, to set the default backend, system-wide: /usr/bin/totem-backend -b <backend name> - As a normal user, to run a program with a specific backend: /usr/bin/totem-backend -b <backend name> <program name> [program options...] - "backend name" is one of gstreamer or xine - "program name" is one of totem, totem-audio-preview, totem-video-indexer or totem-video-thumbnailer In totem gui you see the engine with Help --> About and with xine set you get in the window: Movie Player using xine-lib version 1.1.16.1 HIH, Gianluca </div></blockquote></td></tr></table>
