NAME
GNOME Videos - Movie player
SYNOPSIS
totem [option...] [filenames|URI]
DESCRIPTION
Videos is a movie player for the GNOME desktop. Through use of the
GStreamer backend many popular file and streaming formats are supported
including: H.264 (AVC) and H.265 (HEVC) MPEG-4, WebM and AV1, MPEG-2
and MPEG-1, as well as legacy videos types: Ogg, AVI, ASF, MOV, WMV,
QuickTime, and more. Playback of DVDs is also possible.
For additional documentation on interactive use of Videos select the
Help menu option. The menus allow access to some features not avail-
able through keybindings or command-line options.
