go here mplayerhq.hu go to downloads and download the essential codec package.

change to root and type the following in an xterm/console:

tar xvfj essential-2004xxx.tar.bz2 (this will extract the tarball into a essential-2004xx directory)

mkdir /usr/lib/win32

cp essential-2004xxx/* /usr/lib/win32

restart totem
