dvd are not playing at normal speed

Setting to high, assuming this is relatively widespread and also impacts other players as well.

I initially didn't have this problem and now it occurs all the time. It happens with both totem, playbin and playbin2. The following error is shown by gst-launch:

WARNING: from element /GstPlayBin2:playbin20/GstPlaySink:playsink0/GstBin:vbin/GstAutoVideoSink:videosink/GstXvImageSink:videosink-actual-sink-xvimage: A lot of buffers are being dropped.
Additional debug info:

There may be a timestamping problem, or this computer is too slow.

Changing to Medium as there is a work around, VLC works fine. However, we should really really try to fix this, as it is quite an ugly wart.

Tests show in 10 attempts it worked perfectly once, with small delays ~2-3 times and the remaining times with large delays.

If I use playbin it seems to work much more reliably, failing about one time in 20 for me. However if I choose a chapter instead of the DVD default it seems to be as unreliable as playbin2. Perhaps some IO delay in starting is causing it to get behind and never catch up?

bug #435968 seems a frequent issue in dvd playing too and could be a libdvdnav bug

What gstreamer pack do you install to get this functionality ? Gstreamer can't play DVDs by default now ?

I've tried 3 different dvds on a Karmic RC OEM installation while doing iso testing, with both of them i've got only video but no audio (known issue) and with the other i managed to reproduce the crash Sebastien pointed on comment #6 (bug 435968) playback on the video was ok though, tested with playbin and playbin2

I just uploaded a fix to karmic and to the ubuntu-desktop ppa, testing is welcome: https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/+archive/ppa

Like Pedro, I am unable to reproduce this issue after trying multiple DVDs. However, I can confirm that seb128's packages do not seem to cause any regressions in DVD playing for me at least.

This bug was fixed in the package gst-plugins-base0.10 - 0.10.25-2ubuntu1
