Some of the package information didn't come across. I noticed that myself.

So I systematically installed (and, when necessary, reinstalled) ever 
gstreamer package available in Fedora Core, Updates, and RPMfusion.

PS: does anyone know how vlc really works? I suspect it gets its codecs 
from some on-line server. I've never tried to use vlc off-line. Does 
anyone have any experience with that?
