I still have not found a fix for this problem in Totem. Are you dead set on the Totem player as your media player? Both MPlayer and VLC function properly on my Toshiba if set to Open GL under the player(s) preferences. Mplayer is just a little buggy in the DVD menu screen. I was disappointed that I could not configure Totem in some way, either through a menu, terminal or config file. I would still like to.
