Why can't Brasero burn a video DVD?

I decided to try burning some video to a blank DVD with Brasero, by creating a new video project and selecting an Ogg Theora/Vorbis video file, but when I click "Burn", I get this:
> Please install the following manually and try again:
> mplex (GStreamer plugin).
Since there's no "mplex" package, I did "aptitude search gstreamer", and it seems that I have all the GStreamer plugins installed (including the ones called "bad" and "ugly"). I wasn't able to figure out what "mplex" is from a search, though a search for ``ubuntu mplex`` suggests to me that it's related to MPEG: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/gutsy/man1/mplex.1.html
Normally I would just stop here and assume that mplex requires or is nonfree software, and I would do that here too, except it's bothering me because Brasero is a GNOME package, and creating a video DVD is just one of the options it gives you up-front. Is it simply only possible to burn video DVDs with nonfree software, or does it not work on Trisquel for some other reason?
Does it work if you install mjpegtools?
Nope, that makes no difference.

The gstreamer mplex plugin is in the multiverse repository as part of the package gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse which is non-free since it depends on libfaac.

Does this mean a bug should be filed against this non-free dependency in
Trisquel issue site? Is there a drop-in, free replacement?

The multiverse repository isn't included in Trisquel at all since it contains non-free software. Maybe you can request the repackaging of the free parts of gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse.
Just by curiosity. I've had a look at the gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse sources from Ubuntu 12.04 (base of Trisquel 6.0) and it seems to be 100% GPLv2 (at least I don't see any other license reference or license itself).
So, and if I understand right, the only change that needs to be done is to remove any non-free dependency. Is that right ?
PS: I was wondering why libfaac was considered non-free since the Ubuntu copyright page claims to be LGPLv2'd but then I found this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/faac/+bug/374900.
Hi not an expert and i eventually gave up but
i remember having a similar problem when I was using ubuntu with all the non-free software i could throw at it. So maybe that is not it.
How big is your ogg file? Mine was one or two Gb. That might be part of the issue. May be worth to try with one of the other programs that create an ISO that plays on a dvd player? Chop up the ogg file and try brasero again?
Mine was about 2.2 GB. I haven't tried chopping up the video in question, but I tried a smaller video, this one about 33 MB, and had the same result. Same goes for the smallest video in my Videos folder, at about 9.1 MB and under 30 seconds.
