David, having never done a ppa did take a look at doing but there was
something that couldn't quite understand.
I think if you could provide one it would be a good way to get some
further testing though I'm confident it does fix the affected encodings
without breaking any existing support.
There is a way for users to 'pre-test' files that currently show no
video, all affected files will display video when the plugin is
disabled. (moving libgstvideoparser.so to a .bak
Files that continue to not display video after the mv are not this bug.

I've a list of potentially affected apps in comment #56, may vary
slightly from 12.04 to 12.10. As far as totem-mozilla it can be helped
by this but currently is broken on .mov & some .mp4 (just got an
upstream fix for this the other day
