Scrabbled video when playing a std NA DVD. The intro screen is not scabbled, but the movie is. Evenually after perhaps 5 minutes an "internal data overflow error" occurs. Tried both DVD players on my computer (one blueray, other standard DVD/CD RW) - same problem.

This is the first time I used "Totem Movie Player 2.28.2, Movie Player using GStreamer 0.10.25". I had to obtain some add-ins and later load in two Ubuntu files. The Player plays MP3 files from my hard drive fine now, but when a play a commerically bought DVD (North American) it plays the title (intro) ok. When I select to play the movies main body, the video is scrabbled (flicking square images with the actual movie image imbedded). I tried the same DVD in my second DVD/CD Drive with the same results. If the scrabbled image is left to run long enough (say 5 minutes), an "internal data overflow error" occurs and the Play stops. My compute is brand new with a ASUS Motherboard with a Intel CORE 7i-860 processor with UBUNTU 9.10 loaded on by the vendor.

The video card is:
- ASUS EN210/DI/512MD2(LP) NVIDIA GF PCI-E 2.0, 512MB DDR2, 64B
with:
- LG CH08LS10 8XBD READ/16X DVD-RW Burner, SATA
and
- LG GH22NS50 SATA 22X/22X DVD-RW Drive

The extra information may not be required but it might. I look forward to any solution you may have. Jay.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. A new version of GStreamer is available in both Lucid and Maverick and we are wondering if this is still reproducible in any of those versions, May you please test and give us of feedback about it? Thanks in advance.

Pedro,

Thanks for your feedback.

I had previously ran the 64-bit version of Ubuntu Lucid Lynx but due to
so many issues I switched to the 32-bit version (after 3 months of
trying). I continue to work on enhancing my 100% LINUX computer with
apps but only keep apps where I have resolved the quirks for stable
operation and proper functionality. I update my software regularily
with "Update Manager". Bottom line, I am now able to play all my movies
with Totem Movie Player for the 32-bit but never with the 64-bit.

In the future (LTS 2012), I will retry using the 64-bit version to take
advantage of the Intel i7-860 CPU, but for now I will stick with the
32-bit. The 64-bit was too much of a headache to continue with.

Again, thanks - I continue to learn about LINUX and like it more all the
time. My next step in using gPodder with my iPod and using Skype.
Every program I use seems to have quirks that require ironing out.

Keep up the good work.

Once I gain enough experience I will start helping out the LINUX community.
