Unfortuanately it still used the gstreamer backend, but it turns out changing my bit-depth from 24 to 16 in xorg.conf allowed me to play DVD's in both Xine and Totem, though totem seems to have problems in full screen and Xine is a bit twitchy. I don't understand what, if any functionality is supposed to be lost due to the gstreamer backend instead of the Xine backend, but it said something about DVD menus, and I can use the menu on every DVD I have watched, so I am dumbfounded by what this is reffering to. Thanks for the help though. --Mike -- gentoo-ppc-user@gentoo.org mailing list
