Thanks for the info (although it unfortunately did not include infos
about plugins etc...). To sort out whether it is anything totem-specific
or (as I expect) a problem in the gstreamer backend, could you please
install the "gstreamer-tools" package and run:

gst-launch playbin
uri=file:///usr/share/checkbox/data/video/Quicktime_Video.mov

Does this work or not? If it doesn't, what error message does it give?
Thanks again.

Title:
  REGRESSION: can't play mov files

Status in “totem” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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. 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.
