As said above, Terminator: Salvation trailer won't play in Totem. Here is the last line of console output after starting Totem with GST_DEBUG=2: 0:00:01.066863693 19269 0xac4c058 WARN ffmpeg gstffmpegcodecmap.c:2574:gst_ffmpeg_caps_to_codecid: Couldn't figure out the id for caps video/x-wmv, wmvversion=(int)3, fourcc=(fourcc)WMVA, width=(int)1920, height=(int)816, codec_data=(buffer)270000010fe37e3bf19788800000010e1044efc65c80, format=(fourcc)WMVA, framerate=(fraction)2500000/104297 Then totem hangs - after switching to fullscreen user can see original totem layout (as big as window size) surrounded by artifacts. User can exit fullscreen and close totem gracefully. It seems it just can't find the proper codec for this WMV version. I am posting this bug with older gst-ffmpeg (10.5), because the changelog doesn't say anything that can tell that it is fixed in 10.6. You can download the trailer from: http://pdl.warnerbros.com/wbmovies/terminatorsalvation/trl2/TerminatorTRL2_1080.wmv.zip MPlayer plays this file fine. I hope that's everything you need:) Cheers!
