[Bug 43589] Re: [totem-gstreamer] wont play vcd for "unknown reason"

[Onkar Shinde]

This looks more like gstreamer problem than totem problem.

In gstreamer0.8-misc package there is a lib libgstvcdsrc.so. Also the
description of package says that it provides VCD support.

But in all the plugins of gstreamer0.10 there is no such library.

$ gst-inspect-0.8 |grep -i vcd
vcdsrc:  vcdsrc: VCD Source
typefindfunctions: video/x-vcd: dat
cdxaparse:  cdxastrip: vcd parser

$ gst-inspect-0.10 |grep -i vcd
cdxaparse:  cdxaparse: (S)VCD parser
typefindfunctions: video/x-vcd: dat

So it looks like VCD support hasn't been ported from gstreamer 0.8 to
0.10. The status of plugins can be found here,
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/plugins.html
