SUMMARY

I have a vide in mov format recorded from a Canon DSLR (EOS 550D), that can't be played with phonon (neither gstreamer nor vlc), in both cases when playing the file (with either dragon or gwenview) I only get a black screen with no sound. On the console there are several of these messages:

  WARNING: bool Phonon::FactoryPrivate::createBackend() phonon backend plugin could not be loaded
  WARNING: bool Phonon::FactoryPrivate::createBackend() phonon backend plugin could not be loaded
  WARNING: bool Phonon::FactoryPrivate::createBackend() phonon backend plugin could not be loaded
  WARNING: Phonon::createPath: Cannot connect  Phonon::MediaObject ( no objectName ) to  Phonon::VideoWidget ( no objectName ).


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Remove phonon-backend-gstreamer
2. Try to play mov file in any program using phonon
3. Black screen with no sound
4. Install again  phonon-backend-gstreamer and remove phonon-backend-vlc
5. Try to play mov file in any program using phonon
6. Black screen with no sound

The same file can be played both without problemes with:
- gst-launch-1.0  filesrc location=MVI_6781.mov ! queue ! decodebin ! autovideosink
- vlc MVI_6781.mov
