Bug Description
Binary package hint: totem
Totem randomly shows artifacts when watching a video. Look at the screenshot I attached and you'll know what I mean.
This isn't a problem with the video itself, when I rewind and play the exact section again it's fine.
I don't know very much about video encoding but it seems to me that there is problem with handling the different types of frames. GStreamer seems to drop key-frames so that alterations made to that frame will actually be applied to an older, wrong key-frame, producing a garbled picture.

I can confirm it too
When playing xvid files there isn't a smooth play back in the video. Parts of the picture will get blurry every so often.
It has more do with decoding because if you play back around the position where this occurred, the picture is fine.
I don't get this problem in Smplayer.
