A trick we use in pitivi is to use the "gst.pbutils" module (plugins base
utils), which is normally used for the missing plugins system, but you can also
use parts of it to convert caps to 'human' description.

In [1]: import gst

In [2]: import gst.pbutils

In [3]: gst.pbutils.get_codec_description(gst.Caps("video/mpeg,
systemstream=True"))
Out[3]: 'MPEG Video'


The above example also shows that you can do that for container formats also !
:)

discoverer should use this.
