Bug#560762: libavcodec52, gstreamer-ffmpeg

[Dominique Brazziel]

>Do you have ffmpeg (libavcodec52) installed from debian-multimedia?

Yes -

ii  libavcodec52			5:0.5svn20091129-0.0            

 

>Which version of gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg do you have installed?

ii  gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg                        0.10.9-2                   FFmpeg plugin for GStreamer


I suspected the multimedia package(s) after some research, and tested totem 
on different machine on the network which is usually not turned on (used for backup and
testing in situations like this).  The backup machine was able to play the .avi
movie over the network.  Here is the status of the two packages in question on the
backup machine:

ii  gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg                       0.10.9-2                    FFmpeg plugin for GStreamer
ii  libavcodec52                               5:0.5+svn20091101-0.0       library to encode decode multimedia streams 

I will try and downgrade the libavcodec52 package on the machine having the problem and see 
if that fixes things.
