Gstreamer playback appears to "squish" videos vertically

When using both totem and miro (both using gstreamer) the video has black vertical bars and the image appears squished and not fullscreen.

It has been this way for quite a while but all the videos play fine in mplayer and vlc.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm using the latest gstreamer plugins from the extra repos.

Sounds like the problem that I've been having for a while now.

Does resizing the video or enabling & disabling "force ratio" & give you a normal looking video after a few tries?

Mmm, not that I can tell.

However, I did find a somewhat hacky fix.

In gstreamer-properties set the plugin to custom and then the Pipeline to: "identity ! xvimagesink pixel-aspect-ratio=1/1"

Works like a charm and all my videos play in the proper aspect ratio. So, more or less solved I guess.

Edit: Erm, heh. Can anyone tell me how to put the solved tag on the thread?
