Ubuntu-restricted-extras version 65 is already installed but to no avail. System is Intel MB with GMA x4500 built in graphics. System has all updates through today. After installation of VLC, there is no change in the error message on Totem, however, VLC plays the video fine. This is probable a good clue.
