Upgrading to media-plugins/gst-plugins-ffmpeg-0.10.4 has resulted in all my video being a solid green colour when played back via various media players that use GStreamer. Audio is unaffected. Totem and swfdec-mozilla both exhibit the same problem. This appears to be something to do with the new gst-plugins-ffmpeg ebuild using the system-supplied ffmpeg rather than the version that ships with gst-plugins-ffmpeg. I'm using: media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20080326 USE="X a52 aac encode ipv6 mmx mp3 sdl theora threads truetype vorbis x264 xvid zlib (-altivec) -amr -bindist -debug -doc -hardcoded-tables -ieee1394 -imlib -network -test" media-libs/gstreamer-0.10.19 USE="nls -debug -test" media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta-0.10-r2 USE="X a52 alsa dvd ffmpeg flac mad mpeg ogg theora vorbis xv -dvb -esd -mythtv -oss" To resolve the issue I've tried revdep-rebuild -i (no problems detected) as well as manually rebuilding gstreamer, gst-plugins-meta, gst-plugins-ffmpeg, swfdec and swfdec-mozilla. I've tried restarting X. None of these steps has helped solve the problem. emerge --info output attached. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

This one's my screwup. I'll take a look at it tonight. Till then if you aren't using gcc-4.3, you can downgrade to 0.10.3.
I have the same problem. But when i switch my gnome-viedo-settings to 'X Window System (no Xv)' it's gone. I'm using the latest nvidia-driver and gst-plugins-ffmpeg-0.10.3
