Description kxra 2009-06-07 18:13:36 UTC 
In order for AVCHD (MTS/M2TS) files to work, support is required of:

- MTS/M2TS container format
- H.264 CODEC (including PAFF interlacing, current FFMPEG in Ubuntu gives this error when tying to do the above without downloading the current FFMPEG: "[h264 @ 0xb7e8fa68]PAFF interlacing is not implemented" )
- Dolby Digital, AC-3
- 1920 X 1080 resolution

Comment 2 Wim Taymans 2009-06-07 19:08:41 UTC 
I think this is all supposed to work. Perhaps you should try the gstreamer PPA packages instead of the default ones.
Comment 3 kxra 2009-06-08 03:31:40 UTC 
Yes, i am using the gstreamer ppa. When trying to play an MTS file in totem, the first frame comes up, but the video doesn't play.
Comment 4 kxra 2010-01-31 03:25:10 UTC 
Apparently the problem is with the MPEG-TS demuxer [mpegtsdemux] which was never designed for random access so it needs to be fixed or rewritten. I think bug Bug 550634 covers that
Comment 5 Tim-Philipp Müller 2010-01-31 15:01:44 UTC 
random access vs. streaming shouldn't really have any affect on the formats supported or not, it should only have affect seeking and duration/position queries and the like.
Comment 6 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2010-02-18 12:51:50 UTC 
AFAIK, MPEG-2 TS has nothing to do with AVCHD (which is MPEG-4 AVC), shouldn't this bug be retitled?
Comment 7 David Schleef 2010-02-18 18:53:15 UTC 
AVCHD is AVC in MPEG-TS, so no.
Comment 8 bens 2010-11-17 20:23:11 UTC 
AVCHD 1080i (1440x1080 interlaced 59.94 H.264 + AC-3 in MPEG-TS) plays fine in Totem here.  Perhaps the reporter just doesn't have enough CPU power to decode in realtime.  Anyway, WORKSFORME.  The only bugs I see are more like Bug 550634.
Comment 9 madbiologist 2010-12-04 14:59:22 UTC 
This sounds like Bug 623663 (which has now been fixed).
Comment 10 Mikko Rantalainen 2010-12-08 07:41:47 UTC 
See comment 4. It seems that bug 623663 is only about incorrectly detected content type which is not the same as gstreamer not being able to *correctly decode* the MPEG-TS stream.

Note that gstreamer is unable to display some 1080p AVCHD (MPEG-TS with H.264 video) even without seeking so I'd guess that the real issue is bug 550634 or perhaps even something more widespread in mpegtsdemux.
