[Bug 80342] File manager hangs when creating properies for asf file

[Mr Canis]

Public bug reported:

Hello,
if I try to show the property dialogue for a asf file, produced with my camcorder, in the file
manager then only a dialogue with the message "Creating the properties..." or something 
like that appears. I can cancel this operation but if I want reload the content of the file manager window than nothing happens only the rotating circle stands there and if I go
one level up and then in the previous directory, the same behaviour, only the rotating
circle. The only solution is, completely log out and log in again.

With mplayer there are no problems, only with nautilus and totem.

My system:
Toshiba Satellite L30
Ubuntu 6.10 (edgy)

Installed gstreamer components:
