For the record, I installed totem-xine, and the error changed from
"cannot open file" to "no plugin to handle this movie".

Then I installed gxine, and voila! I simply accepted the default
configuration, and now I have movies. Not sure what for, but it's nice
that it works!

Thanks to Chip and Jason and everyone else. Y'all are great.
