this is a flame war in the making, essentially xine versus mplayer (as it seems totem is a wrapper for xine)
i find mplayer gives better quality, plays more codecs and generally "just goes". it will play weird video files that my media player in windows barfs at. I can play 6 or more video files windowed on my desktop at the same time. (if i want to) OTOH xine has better handling of dvd menus. YMMV, on some builds xine is hopelessly unusable on my system, other times it is fine. try it and see :-) PS why not take your laptop to work and plug it into the lan? or is that a no no?
