Comment 30 for bug 973014

What value there is to the videoparser plugin i don't know, you figure there may be some, why else include it. (no one who has removed it has reported any issue yet.

In a bit of a hack applied the 0.10 commit to the current source that ubuntu uses in 12.04 (0.10.22) & the videos affected now work fine with the videoparser plugin installed.
It doesn't appear Debian/Ubuntu have any interest in fixing this for 0.10.22 so removing the plugin may remain the best option for users to help themselves

Whether this continues to be an issue in 12.10 may depend on what source of gstreamer is used, hopefully a little consideration to this issue will be given in that regard
