Bug Description

Binary package hint: totem

after using automatix (ver. 2.0.6) to download + install the w32 dvd codecs and the Ubuntu restricted extras and multimedia codecs on Ubuntu ver. 7.10 running on Kernel Linux 2.6.22-14-generic with GNOME 2.20.1. after doing this Totem (2.20.0) will only display a bunch of colored lines on the screen instead of the video i am watching. the audio is fine but no video.

i have removed the dvd codecs and the restricted codecs, removed ALL of my codecs, and reinstalled totem. all to no avail.
