yes, but this depends. are you using totem-xine or totem-gstreamer? if
totem-xine, does this appear with e.g. gxine as well?

if totem-gstreamer, please try other gstreamer applications as well.

interesting. can you perhaps try other media players as well? This might
help to reassign this bug to the correct package.

sorry, no. that link contains a text file with the following content:

>> cat valkyrie-1st5m_h.480.mov
SmoovKrmraCrmda+rdrfurl valkyrie-1st5m_h480.mov

what am I supposed to do with that?
