After an update with update-manager in 12.04, MPlayer is not working anymore. It needs ffmpeg, but it can't be installed due to unmet dependencies. I added a PPA for ffmpeg, but did not solve the problem.

See output:

Python (v2.7) requires to install .... GStreamer ffmpeg video plugin. 
Codecs to play mpeg, divx, mpeg4, ac3, wmv and asf files.

Using install, I get an error messages that it can't be installed due to unmet dependencies. See list below:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg: Depends: libavcodec-extra-53 (>= 4:0.7.3-1) but 4:0.8.3ubuntu0.12.04.1 is to be installed

How can I fix this problem?

I had the same problem and I found the solution on web.

It is due to the installed PPA:

Try to run the following:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jon-severinsson/ffmpeg
sudo ppa-purge ppa:jon-severinsson/ffmpeg

Then run totem and install the missing plugin

I noticed that request contains gstremer plugins can be divided on i386 and x64 plugins. If you deselect x64 if you have x86 linux or deselect i386 for x64 linux it would install with no conflicts.
