NTSC DVD with no audio (PAL works ok)

[Andreas K]

Binary package hint: totem

I tried to play my new DVD, and it plays fine, except for the fact that there is no sound. I have tried other DVD:s and they work fine, with sound.

I usually have PAL based DVD:s. This is my only NTSC DVD. I have no idea if this is relevant.

I have tried another Gstremer based application (Arista) and it also has problems with this DVD. This leads me to suspect this to be a Gstreamer problem rather than Totem, but I do not know.

It works fine in VLC.

Here is what totem prints out when I play the DVD.

Same problem here. I also have an NTSC DVD which is is played back without sound in totem but works fine in mplayer.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

What are the names of the DVDs that experience this bug?

[Andreas K (andreas-kagedal)]

I was using this one when I had the problem. Have not tried this in a while though.
