Unless you're good at building your own libraries from source, it is best to wait for fedora to release some new versions of libraries. This is the perennial problem with binary distributions -- open source development is fast-paced and development releases depend on whatever version of a library is most recent. In other words: patience.
This issue will come up again and again, every time a bug fixed in gstreamer causes us to end support for the current version. I realize that people are usually pretty attached to one distribution or another, and would rather not reinstall for the sake of PiTiVi. There are three options: emulation, virtualization, and a chroot. If you can't wait for your distribution to release updates, setting up a chroot of a source-based distribution like gentoo might be the best option. This would allow you to build gstreamer and its dependencies from source when new releases come out, but keep running the majority of your applications under your current distribution of choice. It does not require emulation or virtualization, so everything runs at native speed. And, since it shares your current filesystem and running kernel, it would impose a minimum of memory and disk overhead. If there's enough interest in this, I'll consider adapting my old ubuntu chroot how-to into a gentoo chroot how-to. Though I think the gentoo wiki has a fairly comprehensive guide to installing into a chroot, it would be nice to have a how-to tailored specifically towards kickstarting PiTiVi development, as well as a reference platform for developing PiTiVi.
