I doubt that this bug is fixed in 8.10 beta.
According to this post
http://www.unixresources.net/linux/clf/game/archive/00/00/61/34/613465.html
"GStreamer still cannot play rmvb files?" (in Chinese) from year 2006,
the root cause is that the gstreamer0.10-pitfdll package does not yet
contain any code to handle proprietary RealVideo codecs from w32codecs.
The versions of gstreamer0.10-pitfdll in hardy 8.04 and intrepid 8.10
are exactly the same.
While ffmpeg can decode some older RealVideo files, it does not yet
handle RV30/40 ones.
So, this symptom won't magically cure itself. Either an open-source
implementation of the RV30/40 codec appears (unlikely), or pitfdll
adapts more code (from xine or mplayer) to handle the proprietary binary
RV30/40 codec library, GStreamer would not be able handle RV30/40
RealVideo files.
but I'll try it out later today on intrepid 8.10 beta to make sure.
