Results of testing: With default Totem settings both files in comment 2 look good when played back.
Selecting "Edit > Preferences > Display > Disable deinterlacing of interlaced videos" in Totem and then playing the same files shows prominent interlacing artefacts during playback. Marking as fixed. ** Changed in: gstreamer0.10 (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Fix Released -- Totem Fails To Deinterlace https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257818 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
