hmm

As regards to *any* video player shutting down, I've had a similar problem in the past, I just remembered about it.
About a year ago, using Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron (is that what you are running ? ), along with a very old nvidia geforce4 graphics card and compiz enabled, I ran into these problems.
If I played too many videos, maybe for reason, all my video players crashed as soon as they started playback of audio/video. Do not know the solution, for it exactly, or even if it is related to your problem, but my particular problem vanished after I installed Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope. Which release of Ubuntu are you using ?

As for the conflicts with another application, you can do one thing to
check what the conflict is.

Goto System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager
At the bottom left you will see the filter options, choose "Broken" . If you see any packages in the main right window, those are packages that are broken.
See if they relate to Gstreamer MPEG2 in anyway and take the appropriate action. 
You should remove the offending package if you are sure you do not need it and that removing it will not remove other required packages.
You can also try to re-install and see what is the conflicting error that it shows up and paste it here or show a screenshot.
