Majority of plugins are not enabled

[James Schriver]

Binary package hint: brasero

I was attempting to create an audio CD utilizing Brasero. I received this error message " mp3" is not suitable for audio or video media." after DnD. Further inspection revealed a majority of the plugins are installed just greyed out and unable to be selected. I recall transcode being a default installed plugin in the past and having no issues with it.

I get the same error on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with Brasero 2.30.2. The system was installed just a few days ago from scratch.

I do have gstreamer installed. This was the solution suggested in Question #96269. It did not help.

Rhythmbox 0.12.8 also fails to burn audio CDs from playlists - guess it uses Brasero so this is expected.

I am unable to enable the brasero plugins just like James Schriver 7 months ago. I wonder if there is a work aound?

Just in case this matters, I also have AMD64 architecture:

uname -a
Linux ******** 2.6.32-26-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 17 15:58:05 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[vida (kiki-h)]

I installed 10.04.1 32-bit version and it has the same issue.

uname -a
Linux ******** 2.6.32-26-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 24 09:00:03 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

There is nothing wrong with burning music CDs on both systems using other software. Just the packages provided in the default Ubuntu installation fail.

I confirm exactly what VIDA wrote a month ago:
"I get the same error on Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS with Brasero 2.30.2. The system was installed just a few days ago from scratch.

The Lucid installed is the 64bit version.

I get the same error on Ubuntu 11.10 with Brasero 3.0.0

Anyone found the solution to this?

Same in 12.04.
Rythmbox is not a workaround as it calls brasero to burn and convert

I had it work by installing gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
