You should be looking mainly at folder #4 and #2, and then #3 optionally (I
filed a pitivi-specific bug about category #3 in bug #610325).
Is a collection of video samples that I put together. They work and playback
fine in totem (and pitivi, usually) if you have the proper gst plugins (good,
bad, ugly, ffmpeg...) installed.
The problem is that if you don't have them installed, some of those media files
will not be properly detected by the codec installer thingy. So this means that
users who don't really know gstreamer will try to open them and get the
following two types of error messages:

http://jeff.ecchi.ca/public/gstreamer-codec-autodetection/generic%20gst%20codec%20error,%20alternate%20version.png
And they might give up, thinking that gstreamer just doesn't support those
files.
