Well, I have tried mplayer, gxine, .. not with much better results on Squeeze.
Just discovered.. On Lenny I selected totem-xine alternative and it works nicely, there is also alternative totem-gstreamer that has problems with DVD playback. On Squeeze Totem i based on gstreamer and uses libdvdread, libdvdcss, libdvdnav, and there is no totem-xine alternative as in Lenny. So far I Cannot play DVDs with totem on Squeeze. If anybody can, could they please share their settings with us. Many thanks in advance. -- Tomas Kral <thomas.k...@email.cz> -----Original Message----- From: Camaleón <noela...@gmail.com> Reply-to: Camaleón <noela...@gmail.com> To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: Totem slow DVD playback and bad sound Date: Mon, 04 Jul 2011 19:02:28 +0200 (CEST) On Mon, 04 Jul 2011 16:31:59 +0200, Tomas Kral wrote: > I have recently upgraded to Squeeze. > I experience very slow playback of DVDs in Totem.

(...) I don't know if this will be of any help but Google finds a report -quite similar to yours- from another user: http://www.forumdebian.com.br/archive/index.php/thread-634.html (it is written in Brazilian Portuguese but I think the logs can be easily understandable) It seems the user is also facing that problem when using Totem, VLC and MPlayer to watch a comercial DVD in Debian Squeeze. Given the shared similarities in both cases, I would try to watch another comercial DVD and see what happens. It can be a problem with a specific DVD media that uses a copy protection measure that makes the media player to have problems in decoding. Also, testing with another multimedia player software won't hurt :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón
