After some testing, I've found the issue - it's some wrong parsing 
related to the "plain" content type of the <media:title> element and 
some strange base64 decoding bug in Python's base64 module.

I've contacted the author (and CC'ed you) about this issue. Hopefully it 
gets fixed soon in the feedparser module.

In the meantime, you can apply the enclosed patch to your feedparser.py 
module, which makes things working again.

Good luck!
Thomas
