Hi Pedro!

I respectfully disagree. The bug that this is supposedly a duplicate of
is regarding DVD playback in Totem with fast forward/rewind and menus
not working. My bug regards the ability to play ISO files that I have
made myself.

If I get a raw DV file that I have recorded myself, it will play in
Totem-gstreamer. I can then convert the same file to MPEG-2 and it will
play in Totem-gstreamer, but as soon as I create an ISO file of that
MPEG-2 file, it will not play in Totem-gstreamer. Totem-gstreamer has
no issues playing other ISO files that contain MPEG-2 video (admittedly,
menus and controls do not work, but my ISOs do not play whatsoever).

I would have logged this as a bug with dvdauthor, but then I found out
that my ISO would play without issue in Mplayer and VLC, so this is
obviously a Totem-gstreamer issue.

Kind regards,
Andrew
