NAME

       Totem - GNOME desktop movie player based on GStreamer

SYNOPSIS

       totem [option...] [filenames|URI]

DESCRIPTION

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

       For additional documentation on interactive use of Totem select the Help menu option.  The
       menus allow access to some features not  available  through  keybindings  or  command-line
       options.
