Imprtance "Low" is ridiculous. While there is an easy workaround, any user experiencing the issue is very unlikely to find it. And not being able to play mov files in itself is a very major issue.

On a VM with oneiric installed from scratch, however, totem can play the same files, so it seems to be a configuration error. Both the PC and VM run 64 bit oneiric, have the same kernel version, and both have ia32 libs installed A sample file that fails to play can be found in comment 5 of bug #851481. On the PC that fails to play the files, totem prompts to install the plugin for 'Quicktime demuxer' but then gnome-codec-install can't find a suitable plugin. On the VM that *can* play the files, totem prompted to install the same plugin and gnome-codec-install found and installed gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg and gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad. (These are both already installed on the PC that cannot play the files.) The output from gst-launch-0.10 uridecodebin=file:///<file in question> is: Setting pipeline to PAUSED ... Pipeline is PREROLLING ... WARNING: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0: No decoder available for type 'video/quicktime, variant=(string)iso'.

How does gstreamer match plugins against the video type, eg 'video/quicktime, variant=(string)iso'?
