Totem-mozilla fails to decode, (display) AVC & MPEG4 videos in .mov & .mp4, both online & local

[Doug McMahon]

As of Totem-3.4.x, AVC & MPEG4 videos, (.mov. .mp4, ect.), are not displayed in browser window though the audio will play.
Reverting to 3.0.2 or in totem-mozilla on 12.04 & earlier the same videos are fine, whether online or local files opened in a browser like Firefox.

Though possibly semi-related to this current open, ignored bug this extends to files that currently play fine in totem/gstreamer in 12.10, not just the type affected by the broken bad plugin, so NOT a dupe
Bug 973014

Attached is a simple teartest video that should play fine in a browser, will so with any totem-mozilla version earlier than 3.4

As far as an online sample .mov's from this site should playback, they don't in 3.4

This is where the issue is

[Doug McMahon (mc3man)]

Am going to mark as invalid because -
totem-mozilla 3.0.x & earlier would allow the playback & download of .mov, ,mp4 & the playback of local .mov., .mp4.
the 3.4.x version does not, but will play them directly from the online site.
So that seems like a minor issue of no real importance
