just realised, it's not all fine
several things uninstalled themselves when i moved my pc back to my
internetless room - nvidia driver, totem-gstreamer and several of it's
plugins, and a few other things :( Which is all well annoying...
so _some_ videos play, but others complain of a missing codec, and some
still play in the wrong colour in certain programs, or change colour
after being converted :O
help!?
