Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs

Migrating from a world of Windows, after installing required packages like libdvdcss2, etc. I had no idea that I needed to set such a simple setting in most players to deinterlace interlaced video in order for it to play properly without horrible horizontal movement render lines. Where as in Windows it will automatically deinterlace the video, thus I think it is a great note to make because I know lots of people stopped using Ubuntu because they couldn’t figure such a simple thing out.

So what your saying is that the ubuntu docs dont address deinterlacing?
What version of ubuntu are you using?

I looked into this on jaunty and there is no problems with deinterlacing totem does it automatically now so im marking this as invalid.

I am running Jaunty 9.04 release and the last time I used Totem to watch a DVD, sure enough there were my favorite horizontal lines. I then proceeded to use Mplayer and setup deinterlacing and all was well again. Perhaps I am missing something to get Totem to play properly but I can tell you that it didn’t automatically deinterlace my video.
