That's the point, on Lenny totem-xine works just about fine and can read commercial DVDs nicely, while totem-gstreamer on Lenny (the other alternative in Lenny distribution) cannot and does not work. gstreamer-xine was dropped in Squeeze (licensing issue?), the release candidate in Squeeze became totem-gstreamer that cannot read DVDs, and is an integral part of gnome-desktop. At least on my machine it cannot play any DVDs on Squeeze, (some 10-15, taken at random), it does not seem to me as a performance issue, or setting issue, since it does not complain about missing codecs, libs etc. Would be good to read more users' feedback, before posting a bug. VideoLAN not tested so far. others yes, same problem. -- Tomas Kral <thomas.k...@email.cz>
