Okay ... the disc I was played was created on a stand-alone DVD recorder. Just tried a "real" dvd and it doesn't present the above warnings. So, all's well :) >> You're welcome.

Depending on what version of Gnome the Ubuntu guys >> packaged could cause some of these sorts of problems. I've used kde for years and finally decided that with 4.x enough was enough. Just too many changes (and bugs) for an old guy. So, figured that since I was using Ubuntu I'd used gnome as well. I'm still not completely at ease with the config stuff in gnome ... I'm getting older, but not stupid :) Maybe I'll have another look at stuff like XFCE once I get this system stable. > xine is made for DVDs =p > Oh, and that error, ignore it.

You know, if the error was printed ONE time it'd even be useful ... but a zillion times?
