           Summary: Gstreamer cannot open .mov file
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.18
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

          Priority: Normal

Please describe the problem:
I am trying to play a movie ( http://www.shsu.edu/~chm_tgc/sounds/ruther.mov )
which is apparently a .mov encoded as a GIF with audio. I downloaded the video
and tried to play it in Totem, but I instead got a "Could not decode stream"
error. I have all of the codecs installed and the problem was confirmed by
#gstreamer on FreeNode. I tried playing the file on Windows using Quicktime,
and it played perfectly, so it couldn't be a problem with the file.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Download http://www.shsu.edu/~chm_tgc/sounds/ruther.mov
2. Open using Totem


Actual results:
A very brief frame of the video displays then Totem gives a "Could not decode
stream" error.

Expected results:
Ideally, the whole video should play correctly. However, #gstreamer informed me
that there's no decoder for the audio. However, the movie should at least
display.

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
I've tried playing it with Totem, Mplayer, and VLC. Totem doesn't work. Mplayer
only plays about 20 seconds of the movie. And VLC gets the length of the movie,
but doesn't actually play anything.
