    I also want to introduce the VLC viewer. You can get this with $sudo 
apt-get install vlc and then you might need some codex lib's to watch 
DVD movies. You might have them for Totem already.

    I find the VLC to be suprior to all other software for viewing 
anything. It has so many adjustments to all things. Try it.
