Here are the answers to your questions :
* It happens every time i try this in a folder with realmedia files
* In a directory containing real media files, select a .rm file and right click to open properties dialog. Nautilus shows "Creating Properties Dialog" and stalls. Also, nautilus memory keeps increasing, eventually leading to system being unresponsive.
* The files that I have are very big (> 300MB).. but here's the link from where i downloaded them : http://www.archive.org/details/arsdigita_02_discrete_math
Go to the "Video Files" sections on the left, download some files and put them in a directory. Now right click a file to open properties dialog. Hopefully, you will see the same problem that i am experiencing.
