Totem can not play DVDs

[[e-mail]]

Binary package hint: totem-gstreamer

I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04 beta and totem-gstreamer can not play DVDs. I have installed "GStreamer extra plugins" and "Gstreamer ffmpeg video plugin". When I run totem from a terminal and then try to open a DVD movie, I see one of two things:

Case 1: Totem outputs the following on the terminal, then shows an error message that say something like "You having the correct pluggins but DVD can not be played".

*** Zero check failed in ifo_read.c:1064
    for vts_ptt_srpt->zero_1 = 0x0fb7

*** libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in ifo_read.c:1066 ***
*** for vts_ptt_srpt->nr_of_srpts < 100 ***

libdvdread: Invalid title IFO (VTS_01_0.IFO).

*** libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in ifo_read.c:1678 ***
*** for info_length % sizeof(uint32_t) == 0 ***

*** libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in ifo_read.c:1543 ***
*** for info_length % sizeof(cell_adr_t) == 0 ***

libdvdread: Invalid title IFO (VTS_01_0.BUP).

(totem:6654): GStreamer-CRITICAL **:
Trying to dispose element test_dvdsrc, but it is not in the NULL state.
You need to explicitly set elements to the NULL state before
dropping the final reference, to allow them to clean up.

Case 2: Totem outputs the following on the terminal in what seems like an infinite loop and needs to be killed.

*** libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in ifo_read.c:1575 ***
*** for c_adt->cell_adr_table[i].start_sector < c_adt->cell_adr_table[i].last_sector ***

Also I've tried 3 different DVDs with the same results. Dmesg is attached (you can see I have a PLEXTOR DVDR PX-740A). lspci is below:

Same problem here, under ubuntu and mandriva, maybe a 2.22 upstream bug? :-/

I also cannot play DVD on 8.04

According to this page : https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html#video-dvd
I installed libdvdread3 and Libdvdnav4. When I insert a DVD totem is launching then the folowing error appear : "Impossible de lire à partir de la ressource." ("impossible to read the ressource")

If I try to read the DVD with Gxine , the video begin (intro video, pirate warning, ads, ...), and in place to display the naigation menu, the player stops with an error : "error reading nav packet"

I had the same error with fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04, some DVD (e.g. Ice Age) just won't play.
Error message on the console like:
*** for c_adt->cell_adr_table[i].start_sector < c_adt->cell_adr_table[i].last_sector ***
*** libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in ifo_read.c:1571 ***
*** for c_adt->cell_adr_table[i].vob_id > 0 ***
*** libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in ifo_read.c:1573 ***
*** for c_adt->cell_adr_table[i].cell_id > 0 ***
*** libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in ifo_read.c:1575 ***
*** for c_adt->cell_adr_tableKilled

On the same hardware I had no problem with upgraded Ubuntu from 7.x to 8.04 to play any DVD

I have installed libdvdcss, now I can play Ice Age. I'll have to confirm this with other DVD's, but here at my work PC that's the only one I have right now.

Could people state the titles of the DVDs they are having problems with?

Many DVDs have copy protection which break DVD playback. It would be useful to know which could be the culprits.

[GordonFi (gordonfilion)]

"Tron" Plays if you manually advance the status bar cursor a bit.
"Water Horse" Plays.
"Into the Blue" does not play.
"the Banger Sisters" Plays.
"Shall we Dance" Plays

I don't recall complaining about this but anyway, hope this helps a bit...
