Public bug reported:

When trying to play a '.m4v' file on Feisty Fawn the Easy Codec
Installation tool suggests a codec, but even after installing this codec
Totem video fails to open the file with the following error message:

"An error occured. This file is encrypted and cannot be played."

It would be good if this error message was a little bit more informative
so that I would know if the file can not be played because no codec is
installed for it or if the codec is installed but Apple has put DRM in
our way. I believe that 'm4v' is a quicktime format and I believe it is
used for ipod video. VLC player and KMPlayer also fails playing this
file, but they do not give any error message.

** Affects: totem (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
