Hello, You could try using gst-launch filesrc location=./VTS_01_5.VOB ! decodebin2 ! xvimagesink -v and see what elements are used , that will give you a clue what totem does internally. About the timeline being shown as 1 sec maybe either the timestamping isnt done properly or bug in demuxer.

Using the pipeline: gst-launch filesrc location=./VTS_01_5.VOB ! mpegdemux ! mpeg2dec ! xvimagesink Works fine if the file is from an authored (non-encrypted) DVD+/-R disk. But if the file is from a finalized disk recorded using a standalone DVD Recorder it doesn't play: Setting pipeline to PAUSED ... Pipeline is PREROLLING ... Pipeline is PREROLLED ... Setting pipeline to PLAYING ... New clock: GstSystemClock Got EOS from element "pipeline0". Execution ended after 18810910555 ns. Setting pipeline to PAUSED ... Setting pipeline to READY ... Setting pipeline to NULL ... Freeing pipeline ... There seems to be a gstreamer sort of work-around as the gstreamer based Totem media player can play the DVD Recorder VOB file, but it reports the length as 1 second, seeking is totally broke, but it does playback correctly. Any clues? I'd like to be able to use the filesrc to access individual frames of the file via appsink for analysis but have no idea how to get beyond this issue. OTOH, the gstreamer based Pitivi v0.13.4 editor totally chokes on the file putting it on the timeline as only one second long. _______________________________________________ gstreamer-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:gstreamer-devel@lists.freedesktop.org">gstreamer-devel@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/gstreamer-devel</a> </blockquote></div> -- <a href="http://www.mediamagictechnologies.com">www.mediamagictechnologies.com</a> (Gstreamer, ffmpeg, Red5, Streaming) twitter handle: @gst_kaps <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/kapilagrawal">http://www.linkedin.com/in/kapilagrawal</a>
