Not the latest, but it has been reliable, and I'm not a gamer.

Problem:

Totem will load and play, automatically, music CDs when inserted. This
doesn't with movies.
Totem will start and crash with an error message.

I can get it to play movies with this routine:

1) Insert the movie DVD and wait for Totem to start and quit with the
message:
"Cannot Mount Volume. You are not privileged to mount the volume
'MovieName'"

2) Run "mount /dvd" in a terminal. Totem will start and stop, but not
quit, with the message:
"Totem was not able to play this disc. No reason." Accept this message.

3) Bring down the Movie menu and click "Play Disk...".

Totem then plays the movie fine. I can live with this, but something is
wrong.
Any ideas?

Thanks for your help,
Bob
