Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: totem
After upgrading my G4-based Mac Mini from gutsy to hardy, I'm finding
that videos are not showing up properly. Totem seems to think that the
monitor (a 16:10 24" LCD, attached over a VGA cable, running at
1920x1200) is 4:3. When I play videos on it that, they are stretched
horizontally, and cycling through the available aspect ratios (with the
'a' key) doesn't solve the problem (for 4:3 videos they start out
appearing stretched out and only become more stretched out as totem
tries other aspect ratios for the video). This leads me to believe that
totem isn't figuring out the correct aspect ratio for the display.
I've tried with mplayer and VLC, and both seem to work (for example, 4:3
videos appear with proper-width side bars). Totem under gutsy worked
fine, too. The same videos running on my Thinkpad T61p laptop with a
1920x1200 screen show up just right using totem-xine and totem-
gstreamer.
I've tried both totem-xine and totem-gstreamer on the Mac Mini. Under
totem-xine the problem is actually worse: 4:3 videos have no side bars,
whereas with totem-gstreamer 4:3 videos have small (not large enough)
sidebars.
This happens using Xv or straight Xv-less plain X11 output.
