I can post the first second or so of that mp4 file if that will help.

** Description changed:

- When I try and play some files, totem decides it hasn't got an
- appropriate codec (event though I have the gstreamer good, bad, and ugly
- plugins installed). When I allow it to search for a suitable plugin, it
- suggests 'gstreamer0.10-plugins-good:i386' (and I do have the 64 bit
- version of gstreamer0.10-plugins-good installed).
+ When I try and play some QT files, both totem and banshee decide they
+ haven't got an appropriate codec (event though I have the gstreamer
+ good, bad, and ugly plugins installed). When I allow them to search for
+ a suitable plugin, they suggest 'gstreamer0.10-plugins-good:i386' (and I
+ do have the 64 bit version of gstreamer0.10-plugins-good installed).
  
  At the moment, clicking on Install does absolutely nothing, but when
  this has happened in the past, clicking on Install warns that it will
  remove most of Ubuntu in order to install the i386 plugin.
  
  A file that demonstrates this problem is at:

  gary-numan-cars-video - it works fine in Firefox, but if I download it
  to the desktop (eg with the firefox Download YouTube videos plugin) and
  try to play in totem, I hit this bug.
