Sorry, I totally forgot that Totem could use the Xine backend. I'm
using Totem-gstreamer though. I don't know any other gstreamer video
player, but I will search and try as you say.

Not so sure about this one. As I said the problem occured when
libavformat52 and libavutil49 were updated. This is when libavcodec52
and libschroedinger-1.0-0 were also automatically installed as
dependecies. So it should be one of these packages that is causing the
bug.

I'll try to find other gstreamers media players and keep you informed.

Strange, this should be a Quicktime file, and it plays fine under
Totem-gstreamer on my machine. I didn't download it though, just
opened the link directly in Totem.

I will try do to more tests as soon as I can, and update this report
with the results.

Thanks for your understanding.
