[Bug 4229] Re: Totem receives BadAlloc when playing very large movies using Xv

[Paul Sladen]

The BadAlloc comes with the video just doesn't have the resources to
give the program;  either there isn't enough free RAM on the video card
for an Xvideo buffer of the size requested, or the Xv port cannot decode
images that large.

It really should be up to totem to realise this, back-off and try
another combination (eg. software rendering).
