Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pitivi
Taken from the PiTiVi user manual:
"Some GStreamer codecs, such as the Fluendo MP3 and MPEG muxers, while
providing you with a legal way to playback files (in countries where software
patents laws are upheld), may not be completely compliant to the GStreamer
specifications.
Some users have reported problems when using those codecs (read: not being able
to import MP3 files when those codecs are installed).
The reason for this behavior is that they are codecs oriented towards
playback, and, being not entirely spec-compliant with GStreamer, cannot
be used correctly by PiTiVi for editing.
This situation is unfortunate. If, eventually, those codecs are fixed to
become full-fledged GStreamer-compliant playback and editing codecs,
they will work with PiTiVi.
In countries where software patents are not upheld, you can simply
remove them and use the GStreamer “ugly” set of plugins instead."
There is nothing that PiTiVi can do on this front.
