I ran it from the command line, and I see this is what it produced:

More information:
 totem driving_range.wmv

Does is really not understand wmv files 'out of the box', or perhaps it
never does, or perhaps something on my system is broken?  

Firefox calls totem when I click on a .wmv file on a web page, so
something is up, I suspect.

Thanks for any help you can offer.
