Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: totem
Not sure if this is a problem with totem, the easy codec install thing
(gnome-app-installer?) or some part of the gstreamer can of worms which
I'm not even pretending to have any beginning understanding of. Sorry.
I started Totem on a couple of MP4 files and it said I have to install
all kinds of scary codecs. I did, and expected it to then be able to
play the video, but playback was still incomplete -- sound but no
pictures.
Restarting Totem allowed me to view those videos, but isn't this
supposed to work without requiring a restart?
This is a "persistent" live USB installation of Ubuntu 7.10.

On the second try, things were dandy (apart from the jackd warning
message).
These files were downloaded from the Intarweb, not sure if copyright
would allow me to upload them here. The original site is apparently
thepartyparty.com but I don't think MP4 format is available directly
from there.

I added empty lines before the prompts just for legibility.
