I have exactly the same problem, which has happened after the update to ubuntu 12.04 I can't see the property of the file .mp4 : choosing properties opens a windows "creating properties". Totem is unable to read file.mp4 After recoding file.mp4 via handbrake, one can see the properties of the new files (file.m4v and file.mkv).

Nautilus: Right clicking on the file and going to "properties" results in a message: "Creating Properties Window..." and nothing happens after that. PcmanFM on the other hand has no trouble displaying the file's properties. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Totem: Doesn't play the file. When running in terminal I get: """ (totem:5491): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: Read/writable property 'object' on class 'ZeitgeistDpPlugin' has type 'TotemObject' which is not exactly equal to the type 'GObject' of the property on the interface 'PeasActivatable' """ VLC on the other hand has no trouble playing the file.
