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
7:gstreamer-plugins-fc 8:gstreamer-plugins-good **This worked for me so I hope it works for you**
