Video playback out of sync

Compared "viewing" between XP (codec 6.1.1 from DIVX Inc) and Dapper ( Gstreamer 0.10, Totem 1.3.91).

The lag exists.
Tried a another movie from
http://home.comcast.net/~tom.paquette/media/muppetshow-manahmanah.wmv

The lag is even worse.
muppetshow-manahmanah.wmv used to work fine on Ubuntu 5.10 and gstreamer 0.8

What gstreamer plugins do you have installed (dpkg -l | grep gstreamer )?

Thanks for your bug, totem-xine and xine-ui have the same issue on my box, mplayer works better on it

I've forwarded the issue upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335858

I can confirm this behaviour... totem-xine, totem-gstreamer have the a/v out of sync, mplayer works fine...

the bug has been fixed upstream

Will the fix make it into dapper? As of today ( gstreamer0.10-plugins-good version 0.10.2-2ubuntu2) the sync problem still exists?

If upstream doesn't roll a new version before dapper freeze we will backport the fix, everything is fine

Thanks for the quick response. Glad to hear that you have everything under control. Keep it rockin' !

Great. I confirm that the video in question now plays flawlessly. Keep up the great work!

I tried the 2 referenced files on my dapper laptop, and cannot reproduce the lag, I'm therefore closing this bug.
