Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused it.
Can you get us a stack trace? Please see http://www.gnome.org/projects/totem/#bugs for more information on how to do so. Thanks in advance!

The program 'totem' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 48 error_code 11 request_code 141 minor_code 19)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

This is unfortunately not a stacktrace. Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces/Details#learn-about-stacktraces for details about what a stacktrace is and isn't, as well as further down that page for instructions on "Obtaining a stack trace". Without a good stacktrace, we can't fix the problem.

Wasn't able to get stacktrace working. it just ends up giving me the same info I already posted. 

I found something new about the crash though, as long as totem is minimized and I haven't had the video play at all none-minimized it works. Not able to see the video though but sound works perfectly. Even after the video ends, when I unminimized it, it crashes.

I hope that helps until I can get the stacktrace. I'll try some other debugging programs. Any other recommendations other than gdb.

I learned something new, having a second totem open makes the movies not crash.

Can you try following the instructions from the error? Specifically, run gdb as "gdb --args totem --sync filename" where "filename" is the file that crashes totem. Once you're at the gdb prompt, before typing "run", enter in the command "br gdk_x_error". Gdb may respond with the question:

Function "gdk_x_error" not defined.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) 

Answer 'y' to this if you see it, and then type "run".

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find.
