I have used now 3 different distributions, ubuntu, debian, and now

won't play. Has anyone gotten this to work?
What color depth are you running X in? I recall having severe problems
playing any sort of video in 24-bit color, so then I changed to 16-bit and I
have no problems. I do notice that when playing most videos the colors of my
desktop background get messed up, but I consider that a trivial problem and
ignore it. (In a couple of hours the background changes, anyway.)
If you run "xine --verbose dvd://" in a command window, do you get any
helpful information about what it's doing or where it quits?
xine doesn't quit, totem does, but xine doesn't, xine just plays a blank
screen. I think I am in 24-bit depth and I will look into changing that.
Thanks a bunch.
