DVD playback works fine here on my test machine for F18. I'm not sure what plugins Fluendo includes, but I'm inclined to mark this as NOTABUG, since most likely you are missing one of the gstreamer packages we can't offer within the Fedora collection due to licensing or patent concerns.

Could you verify that you have libdvdcss, and the gstreamer plugins (gstdvdread, etc) needed for dvd playback installed on your system? Thanks.

Hmmm, been testing the DVD support with about 5 different discs (Fantasia, Star Wars, Super 8, Batman TAS, Fugazi Instrument), and haven't experienced any of the problems you appear to be having.

Glancing real quick at your attached debug files it looks like you're coming across a couple of different bugs, an libdvdread check value failure, a imagesink bug, and an audiosink stream failure which may be related to this bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688803

I'll see if I can dig into this a bit more in the week as time permits.

If it works this is good news. I have this installed:

Thank you for this. Because I guess that I am lost with all this buggy stuff.

As far as I remember I used this page for installing hints:

http://jaisejames.wordpress.com/2012/11/30/fedora-18-missing-video-decoder-audio-decoder-codec-installing/

After I did this there I got errors regarding missing codecs so I also installed the Fluendo codecs. But for me it seems that the errors I run into now have nothing to do with codecs.

  def install_multimedia
    system('yum -y localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm');
    system('yum -y localinstall --nogpgcheck http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release.rpm');
    system('yum -y install libdvdcss totem gstreamer-plugins-good gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-ffmpeg libdvdread libdvdnav lsdvd');
  end

This was exactly how I installed the stuff before I found the website mentioned above and before I installed the Fluendo codecs. This was what I did with Fedora 17 and I was impressed it worked at once.

Now with Fedora 18 the only thing I saw so far are error messages.

I thought maybe I have to deinstall gstreamer-0.10 completely but this would deinstall a lot of other stuff by dependencies.

I also want to point out that I did not update Fedora 17 but formatted my HDD and dit a fresh installation.

Now I found out this: as I found out in the past the behaviour of totem depends very much on the DVDFASTSTART environment parameter.

When I put DVDFASTSTART=yes Desperate Housewives season 6 is working. This is really strange.

On the other hand: "Zeitakedemie: Psychologie" is only working with DVDFASTSTART=no. Otherwise there is an error: "The stream is in the wrong format".

Today I set up Fedora 19. Test with "Zeitakademie: Psychologie".

Just opening totem results in an error message that the stream is in a wrong version.

With DVDFASTSTART=no the DVD is starting. I get the menu and can select a title.

But it is flickering all the time and so it is quite useless.

The flickering issue is solved now. I followed the hint to disable deinterlacing. This fixed the problem.

The other issues still remain. "Desperate Housewives" still give "The stream is in the wrong format".

This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '18'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be 
able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
