[matteo sisti sette <922069@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's totem, not mplayer (i thought "Movie Player" was mplayer)

** Package changed: mplayer (Ubuntu) => totem (Ubuntu)

** Description changed:

- In Ubuntu 10.10 I used to be able to play DV mov files in mplayer, i.e.
- mov files (quicktime) encoded with the DV codec.
+ In Ubuntu 10.10 I used to be able to play mov files in totem (which is
+ what mov files open in by default when you double-click them in
+ Nautilus).
  
- Now in 11.10 I can't. I don't know whether this is because of the mov format or the DV codec, but it definitely looks like it is the mov format because:
- - I can play them in VLC so I must have the codec
- - when mplayer searches for the "suitable plugin", it says it can't find "quicktime demuxer".
+ Now in 11.10 I can't. When mplayer searches for the "suitable plugin",
+ it says it can't find "quicktime demuxer".
  
  By the way the "search for suitable plugin" is a joke, isn't it? EVERY
  time I try to open a file that mplayer is unable to open and it searches
  for suitable plugin, it NEVER finds it. There has never been a single
  time it found and installed the suitable plugin.

Title:
  REGRESSION: can't play mov files
