xine and .m4v

after last update xine-lib (current version xine-lib-1.1.11.1-1.fc8) 
lost its ability to play .m4v files. Mplayer and vlc, which I also keep 
on this machine, are playing those fine though. The worst thing is that 
xine-lib is the backend for Miro, and I can't watch 90% of downloaded 
stuff now, including the old clips. The latest Miro can switch to 
gstreamer and that one does play .m4v, however the picture is so ugly 
and it consumes so much CPU that I want my old xine-lib back very badly.

To my surprise all the previous versions of  xine-lib-arts, 
xine-lib-extras-nonfree, xine-lib and xine-lib-extras disappeared from 
the fedora-updates and livna mirrors right after update was released, 
thus I have no idea how to roll-back to the previous version.

Any suggestions are appreciated

I'm running FC7 i386 and FC8 i386 on x86_64 hardware, should this matter.
