Public bug reported:

On using totem or parole to view a quicktime .mov I get the error "An
error occurred. Could not determine type of stream" in a dialog box.
Which is a bit peculiar as both mplayer and vlc play the file just fine.
If one uses parole then we get roughly the same message except it is
titled "Gstreamer backend error".

Clearly I have some codecs that can manage to play these files, I also
have all the gstreamer plugins installed (good, bad and ugly) both for
0.10 and 1.

This is a pretty vanilla Trusty ia64 system.

totem - 3.10.1-1ubuntu4 0
parole-0.6.1-0ubuntu3.1 0
mplayer-2:1.1+dfsg1-0ubuntu3
vlc-2.1.4-0ubuntu14.04.1 0

PS. Firefox happily plays this file.
