Comment 4 for bug 350451

* Is this reproducible? Yes (please see above).

* If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug? Try to play ANY *.mpg file (please see above).

* What error do you get exactly? The one posted in the original report (please see above). That's what I see if I run Totem from the command-line. The application itself pops up an error dialog that says "An error occurred Disconnected: OK" which is about as useful as a Windows "file not found."

The properties panel says Totem doesn't know what the video codec is ("N/A"). VLC says the video stream is "mpgv."

Ffmpeg says:

Input #0, mpeg, from 'test.mpg':
  Duration: 00:05:11.48, start: 0.483722, bitrate: 1146 kb/s
    Stream #0.0[0x1e0]: Video: mpeg1video, yuv420p, 352x288 [PAR 1:1 DAR 11:9], 1000 kb/s, 25 tbr, 90k tbn, 25 tbc
    Stream #0.1[0x1c0]: Audio: mp2, 32000 Hz, stereo, s16, 128 kb/s

VLC, Xine, MPlayer are all working fine with the same mpg files. Avidemux complains on some that it's can't determine the aspect ratio but still loads, plays and edits them just fine. Ffmpeg will load and manipulate them fine also. This seems to be an issue specific to Totem/GStreamer. FWIW.
