gstreamer is definitely not happy with one of these corrupted video files, here's the media-hub output with GST_DEBUG=*:4

Also, seems gstreamer 1.5.x is more tolerant of this video file than 1.4.x (wily has 1.5.x, vivid has 1.4.x)

These two logs from a debugging session with Kaleo--the resulting video is playable from desktop (using VLC) but comes up black when opened in media-player via the camera roll. Recorded for 10 seconds.
