--- Comment #1 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com 2010-11-11 13:38:19 CST --- In wine-1.3.6-421-gc138970, the video plays the first second or so (goes from black to a white screen), and audio continues, but the video does not change.
According to Maarten, it looks like a Fable bug. The video itself plays fine in totem, as well as when testing it with quartz (put it in wine-git/dlls/quartz/test/test.avi and run 'make filtergraph.ok'). The video then plays fine.
In the game itself, if you run with some debugging, you can get the video to play, but flipped upside down.
Running with GST_DEBUG=3 wine Fable.exe
usually works. 4/5 also work, and usually WINEDEBUG=+gstreamer will also prevent the race.
