Xine gave up on me a few weeks ago - without warning. It just refused to play my disks. Mplayer gave up at the same time. I never did get xine running again, but a livna update a couple of days ago got mplayer working again. Misery indeed. I've been relying on my Mandriva laptop for video burn testing for weeks. Fortunately, theirs doesn't seem to get constantly broken like this. Anne
