Playing vcds is fine but whille playing DVD videos i got small thick lines along with the video in case of totem. Same is the case with VLC player. In windows the video playback is fine except the same problem while playing with VLC player. Is there some problem open source player in playing DVD videos ??
Tried it on my friends system (with ubuntu) same problem.Any solution plz

Try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras package and mplayer

what. I have installed Gstreamer-ugly,bad(also multiverse)and ffmpeg as mentioned in ubuntu user guide.

Try installing MPlayer and check if that one plays it well or not. VLC sometimes is just not the solution

Code:

sudo apt-get install mplayer

vlc gives problem sometimes, you could also try xine player.

Heres the screenshot

Thats Interlace Problem! Try a different DVD! (or see whether some 'De-Interlacing' is possible)

There is de-interlacing option in Totem Movie player,just press I during video playback or view->deinterlace.

The deinterlacing is also not helping

But the same dvd is playing fine in windows

^^ You tried mplayer with w32codecs?

Not yet. But the problem is solved to sum extent after choosing deinterlace option in VLC player. How to enable deinterlace option by default ? Is there any disadvantage of doing so as it is not enabled by default

Change the output renderer if possible

did u sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2?it solves.for all players make sure xv(ideo) is used.
