All other gtreamer plugins are installed. The mentioned videos are perfectly played in totem (which uses gstreamer).

I recommend WMP9; WMP10 crashes sometimes for me, too, and I've  also noticed some rendering issues. You could file a bug for the specific problem listed above, but you should make sure the video in question plays fine on WMP in Windows first. 

I did have to install the 32 bit "bad" and "ugly" gstreamer plugins to get mpg files to play, but xvid avi files worked fine without them. About the architecture change, I vaguely remember getting a message to that effect (though in my case the number was 400-something) when trying to install the packages in Packman. I installed the ones from the Multimedia repository instead, with no problems and no messages about changing the architecture of anything (and they work).
