So QA has some questions:
1. Should we close this particular bug as INVALID because it's a
disaster with comments and lots of different issues being posted?

Its got 67 comments in it, its way too big with different issues in it.

2. Is this our bug at all?
3. Should we open individual bugs for each format that does not work?
4. Are there particular codecs that we should try to install?

For Linux, we're using gstreamer under Linux to play back video, so I
suggest if there's an issue playing back video under Linux that the
reporter checks if it works in totem which typically defaults to having
gstreamer as its backend. So as a rule of thumb if it doesn't work in
totem then its definitely not our bug and we're not interested, if it
does work in totem then its potentially of interest.

For MacOSX I wonder if Tor knows of a basic/built-in video viewer on
MacOSX which uses the same route we are using to render video which can
be used as an example program to compare against to filter out missing
codecs vs libreoffice-side bustate ?

5. Should we make a new bug report for each platform as there seems to
be difference between platforms (for instance no one has succeeded with
OSX but Jay had success with Xubuntu)

Different platforms have different implementation (some have multiple
implementations) of the video/audio stuff, so there are typically
different issues there. So yeah, different platforms are different bugs
normally. So split things up per platform as a start.
