DESCRIPTION

12       Totem  is  a  movie  player  for the GNOME desktop.  Through use of the
13       GStreamer backend many popular file and streaming formats are supported
14       including:  MPEG  audio  and  video (MP3/MPV), Ogg, AVI, ASF, MOV, WMV,
15       QuickTime, and more.  Playing of DVD and VCD media  is  also  possible.
16       Although primarily intended as a movie player, Totem can also play many
17       audio formats.
