Install Mplayer or VLC instead ...
It has built in codec support for Quicktime 7 files. There is also a graphical front end that's included. Mplayer will also allow you to capture network streams and do conversion with mencoder, but it's on the command line and it may be intimidating for newbies.

You could use VLC player instead which will run the Quicktime 7 files. VLC does have a graphic front end for stream capture and conversion that is pretty extensive.

Both of these players far exceed Totem and should be used as a replacement. Personally I like Mplayer for the command line control over the capture/conversion process, but each to his own.
