I reinstalled the i965-va-driver.
Here is the output of the hdparm command for the drive that currently houses the video file:
tracy@tracy-hp:~$ sudo hdparm -t /dev/sdb [sudo] password for tracy:
/dev/sdb: Timing buffered disk reads: 352 MB in 3.01 seconds = 117.06 MB/sec
I moved the video file to a different drive, and tried it in totem again. Same problem. Here's the hdparm output for that drive:
tracy@tracy-hp:~$ sudo hdparm -t /dev/sda
/dev/sda: Timing buffered disk reads: 1198 MB in 3.00 seconds = 399.32 MB/sec
