Problem playing DVD's

[Bill Tetens]

I got some advice about loading Totem to play movies with the DVD drive 
I just installed.

Using the instructions I inslalled lidvd* libMad* totem* using Yum from 
Dag and as far as I can tell the install went without a hitch.

When I try to start the Totem movie player I get the followin error 
message.  Any one got any help I hope so.

Error message:

Totem could not startup
Could not link video output thread (cs and balance}

If you have a solution give me a lot of details as I am still a beginner.

Thanks
Bill
