Yeah,

start by giving us the command you used to manually thumbnail, telling us 
how you installed gstreamer, on what distro, and if you can play the 
mpeg's in any gstreamer-based app.

Also check if you have the necessary plug-ins using gst-inspect:
gst-inspect mpeg2dec
gst-inspect colorspace

And so on...

Preferably, this is done through a bug report, with output of gst-feedback 
attached to it.
