I typed xine in a shell and noticed a message regarding having an older 
version of gnome-screensaver installed. I have no gnome-screensaver

Run totem from a terminal and it should give you some information as to

I am playing a DVD burned off of a pioneer recorder using DVD-RW discs 
and no encryption. Are you trying an AVI file? I have none of them 
knowingly.
