HI All Thank you for the replies here. I found if I move the files to my other pc they play fine in Beta 3 So I must assume there is an issue with my video card and not Totem MY other pc has the ATI card and plays them fine. MY Multi-track machine had an Nvidia card and seems to have a few problems as writing the screen in Ardour can take some time. This has caused a few X runs I think.
Do we have an Nvidea driver for Beta 3? I always thought Nvidea had support built into the kernal and that ATI were a problem. As regards playing DVDs I don't even go there! Anyway thanks for the help.
