Hell ! I have already stop totem. but I want to try that. So I started 
totem on a new file, paused it and then suppressed the file. Then
$ lsof | grep totem

totem     15515  wattazoum   27r      REG        8,1 50739200       6363 
/media/ZIZOU_4/Loisirs/Clips/Bon amv/FLCL - X-Japan - Rusty Nail.avi

It gave me a lot of thing but I supposed the most interesting part is 
that one, isn't it?
How do I get the inode number and copy the file ?
