Bug Description
In normal usage processor is always at 100% utilization this is due to three processes.
tracker-extract
totem-video-indexer
and to a lesser extent trackerd
this is on a thinkpad R50e upped to 1GB of RAM. the usage appears under ni(NICE?) in top and doesn't appear in gnome-system monitor.
this happens from a default bootup and occurs after 45 seconds. this is the delay time set in the indexing preferences. all other settings are set to low priority.

This is probably fixed in svn - we issue a 10 second alarm call which should crash tracker-extract if its taking too long (this might not work if tracker-extract is sleeping as sleep interferes with alarm calls)
But to be sure can you identify the video file thats causing the problem?
you can do this by running trackerd -v 2
this will print out the files as it indexes them so hopefully you can see which one it gets stuck on
once identified can you run totem-video-indexer uri and see if that hangs.
