Last modified: 2018-04-11 13:02:37 EDT
Description of problem: Some AVI videos are played distorted in applications using gstreamer. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.14-1.fc13.x86_64 PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin-0.6.4-1.fc13.x86_64 gstreamer-tools-0.10.29-1.fc13.x86_64 gstreamer-python-0.10.16-1.fc12.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.22-2.fc13.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.29-1.fc13.x86_64 gstreamer-rtsp-0.10.5-1.fc13.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-bad-nonfree-0.10.18-1.fc13.x86_64 gstreamer-ffmpeg-0.10.10-1.fc13.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-0.10.18-2.fc13.x86_64 gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.18-1.fc13.x86_64 gstreamer-0.10.29-1.fc13.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Play http://n.ethz.ch/~smani/download/example.avi example in totem 2. 3. Actual results: It appears that one channel (green?) is distorted Expected results: Additional info: Worked fine in f12, also plays fine in VLC. Distortion appears to affect all applicaitons using gstreamer (totem, banshee, ...).
The example video plays fine for me. I'm suspecting this is a video driver issue. To make sure: 1) What GPU and Xorg drivers are you using? 2) Can you change the Gconf key /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/videosink to "ximagesink" (without quotes) and see if that makes it work? (Don't forget to change it back again, it's slower.)

Attached screenshot shows problem.
This does indeed look like driver issue, so I'll assign this to them. I do wonder why VLC works though...
