This may get me in trouble, but I recommend...vlc as my media player of choice you can find it in synaptic, and it is the ultimate of all media players - dvds, wmas, movs, you name it... it's the bomb BUT, to answer your questions, the default that was entered (I've not changed it) is: totem %m in the preference you talk about. welcome to FOSS land! it's grand cheers L. <div>On 7/2/07, K Theodor <<a href="mailto:four27bc@msn.com">four27bc@msn.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> - In the process of my trying to get Totem (the DVD-playing app. in Ubuntu 7.04) to play DVDs I deleted the default command which is to be found in: System --> Preferences --> Removable Drives and Media --> Multimedia (tab) Play video DVD discs when inserted, Command: ??? Any one who has very recently intalled 7.04 and has not as yet tampered with this Command may want to email me the default command that she/he sees there. Besides that, I'm entirely new to Linux and Ubuntu too, and my DVD playing region is 2 (that is Japan, Europe, South Africa and Middle East). What is the best way to get to play DVD videos on Ubu. 7.04? My overall impression from 7.04 so far has been "Why have I not been using an open source OS for all these years?". Nevertheless, getting to play DVDs has shown to be rather tricky. Any suggestions welcome, and the advice on the default command should be quite easy for any one who's just installed 7.04. </blockquote></div> -- In measure theory (a branch of mathematical analysis), one says that a property holds almost everywhere if the set of elements for which the property does not hold is a null set, i.e. is a set with measure zero. If used for properties of the real numbers, the Lebesgue measure is assumed unless otherwise stated. It is abbreviated a. e.; in older literature one can find p. p. instead, which stands for the equivalent French language phrase presque partout. -- <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almost_everywhere">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almost_everywhere</a>
