[ubuntu-uk] Can somebody help with manual command

[John]

Yippeeee. Its working. I thought I might try viewing a downloaded bit of 
film I have, to see if that might work, and low and behold, it needed 
updated made, 2 of them, and installed those, adn it now works.

I just started to play the film off the DVD and it looks brilliant. The 
picture playback is so clear. Took a while but we got there.

Thank you so much for all your help. I really appreciate it. :)

John.
