Do you have gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-plugins-bad and
gstreamer-plugins-bad-extras as well? If not, install it and see if the
problem goes away
Actually I didn't have them installed, I will do it and then do some more tests. However, according to recent comments on https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764#c3 there is indeed some problem with gstreamer-ffmpeg and/or totem.

That cannot be done due to software patents

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Software_Patents
I know Fedora can't be shipped with proprietary codecs -- and I do support the reasons behind this. But it does provide an "automatic retrieval" of such codecs (through PackageKit), this is the part that I referred to as broken (not necessarily due to PackageKit itself).
Regads,
Andre
