Bug Description
On vanilla 8.04, when I try to place the screencasts from
http://
(such as http://
GStreamer reports a general stream error without giving the option to install a supported codec package using the codec wizard:
$ totem intro_tracks15.mov
** Message: Error: GStreamer encountered a general stream error.
qtdemux.c(1838): gst_qtdemux_loop (): /play/decodebin
streaming stopped, reason not-negotiated
$ _
Installing manually the bad and ugly gstreamer packages solves the problem (totem with gstreamer backend).
gstreamer should not fail with a general stream error, but rather be able to extract the necessary information so that the codec wizard can be invoked.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.
