So the question is, how come if I run

'gst-launch filesrc location="file.mpg" ! timeoverlay ! xvimagesink'

it displays it as starting from 00:00:00,400 instead? The time/stream or 
whatever couldn't possibly be embedded in the file otherwise shouldn't 
it also give that odd time?  The viewer in source is setup nearly 
identical to that same gst-launch command so that is what has got me 
fairly confused...
