Description rirag 2009-10-06 16:06:34 UTC
I have a lot of .mpg videos that are recordings from a DVB-S card (Skystar 2) taken in Win XP with ProgDVB in the last years.
Totem does not visualize well any of these files.
What Totem shows is like a variation of meaningless big pixels, the sound is good.
The files are MPEG2 transport streams.

Same bug is in Karmic beta.

Other considerations:
VLC 1.02 in Karmic beta works well on these files but VLC 0.9.9a in Jaunty (or in XP) doesn't (black screen) .

The problem could be in the Gstreamer framework because the same exact problem happens with Moovida and Pitivi applications that also use Gstreamer like Totem does.

The Openshot video editor, that instead uses the MLT framework, works well on the same files.

See ubuntu Bug #442070
