Bug Description

Binary package hint: totem

Normally Totem offers to install a codec when trying to open a file that your computer cannot play. However, if you open an mkv file with embedded fonts and subtitles (normal for anime), Totem just plays it, rendering the subtitles in the default font, which is rather ugly. The user has no idea how to fix this unless they do a lot of googling. Totem should offer to install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad just like it does with mp3 files.

If you have an example file that you could upload legally could you please do so?

I have attached a 10-second mkv file that uses styled subtitles, as well as two screenshots comparing their appearance with and without the gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad package
