The Movie Player is totem, as suggested above. gnome mplayer (this is on Debian 6) plays the movie, but, not very well - it is choppy; both the video and the audio, replroduce a little bit, then stop, then a little bit more, then stop, etc. vlc seems the only one of the three mentioned, that successfully processes the file /plays the video file. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
