I just have color issues with some XVID videos (see the attachment). But I don't know whether it's codec or player issue.
Yeah I noticed that too earlier, one xvid file had messed up colors. I've seen the same thing a few years ago and iirc it was a missing element in the gstreamer pipeline so Gallery may not be using the playbin element. If I could just get gst-launch to show pictures ...

Edit: BTW, my messed up file looked exactly like yours so something is not quite right here.
