I think you said you were using Ubuntu, is that correct?
If so, have you looked at EasyUbuntu http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ ?
I use it all the time and it has fixed all my media issues, great little package.

Apologies to all for the disclaimer text on the end of my last post.
I'd switched this of but it looks like my employer is now adding this to all outgoing emails regardless.
Oh well, there's always webmail.

It's probably some well-meaning postmaster who has failed to wrap their head around the latest advice that all business emails should have company name, registered number, place and office.
All that 'this is ours and we'll eat your first born'-style nonsense probably does as much harm as good. It even contradicts itself: "If you have received it by mistake, please notify the author immediately by replying [...]" and "If you are not the intended recipient you must not use, disclose, distribute, copy, print, or rely on this e-mail." Reply or not use/copy? Make your mind up!
I'd send your postmaster the link to http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/stupid-disclaimers/ and ask them why they think the legal situation has changed and why they started tampering with outgoing personal email without warning. (Of course, if their policy has always banned non-work email use, then you probably shouldn't do that.)
Hope that helps,

Useful link - ta.

Well... and of course the old saying "Never argue with a fool, it wastes your time and upsets the fool."
(and if you find no-one ever wants to argue with you then...) :o)

Thanks for the tip, But doesn't the ubuntu site tell you not to use this as it has caused system lock ups? Also is DVD playback subject to system memory as i only have 256MB.
Can anyone tell me how to turn off the default DVd player software from starting up when i am using another software player?
Thanks Barry
