That is the one I was referring to. And that doesn't help?

Ok, I just did a little googling, and there's one other thing you
should check. You mentioned that you had gstreamer-plugins-ugly
installed, but was it the one from Multiverse (on Ubuntu, it's called
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse)? I noticed that it specifically
has libx264 as a dependency, so that should sort out the videos that
require H.264 codec.

I'm still not sure why the xvid videos won't play if you have the
ffmpeg gstreamer plugin installed. Do the videos play in Totem?
