I'd just like to add that Helix doesn't support many formats out of the 
box. Basically it's a stripped version of Real Player 10. If you want to 
play Real movies, it can be "hacked" by giving Helix access to the Real 
codecs or simply by installing Real Player.

You can experiment with Totem with the Gstreamer backend and with the 
Xine backend. In some cases one will work better, in other cases the 
other.
