[Bug 84729] Mpeg playback from windows share really choppy

[tlimon]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: totem

Playback of MPEG files recorded at high quality (720x480 @ 384Kbps) is
limited to a few seconds before the buffer reloads whilst playing over
the network.  I can playback low quality (e.g. cartoons 480x480 @
256Kbps) fine over the network.  Local copies of high quality video play
fine too.  The network is fast enough as I've been able to copy the
entire hours worth of high quality video in 4 minutes to the local drive
over the network.  Something in Totem causes higher bitrate files to re-
buffer every few seconds. See

for the exact same issue.
