Comment 1 Grady E. Rein 2011-08-16 23:33:41 UTC
Solution: Install these gstreamer plugins from your package manager (KPackage for me since I am using the KDE twist of Fedora 15)
1:gstreamer-plugin-crystalhd; version #: 
2:gstreamer-plugins-bad-free; version #:
3:gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-extras
4:gstreamer-plugins-base-devel
5:gstreamer-plugins-base-tools
6:gstreamer-plugins-entrans

**This worked for me so I hope it works for you**
