I installed on Ubuntu 7.10 using the two lines exactly as they were. Now Totem crashes on startup. I also installed VLC but the playback is dreadfully jumpy.
I'd like to know how to get Totem working again

Hi Ozyank,
I think I might be able to help you out... Just to backtrack, I'd probably remove the software you've just installed
sudo apt-get remove totem-xine libxine1-ffmpeg libdvdread3
I don't *believe* leaving it on the system would mess with what I'm about to tell you to try, but there is the possibility it could complicate the issue.
Then, I'd go ahead and install the Medibuntu repositories. They're quite safe, and honestly, I've never had a problem with getting DVD playback on anything with them.
In a terminal (you can do it through Synaptic, quicker in the terminal, though)
sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
Now add the GPG key
wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update
Then....
sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2
(or search for the above package in Synaptic)
It'll choose the right version for your architecture, and install any dependencies. The really cool thing about Medibuntu, is that it pretty much has ALL the free and non-free codecs, so you can get just about any file, like wma or wmv, working with this repository.
For more information, check this out:

Hope it helps.... Kristin

Ah, sorry... The above *should* set Totem right. If for some reason it doesn't, try, in this order, reinstalling the Totem package, and, failing that.... go into the .gnome-2 folder (it's a hidden one), find the Totem subfolder, and try removing the state information file. It should, then, fire up Totem like you were starting it for the first time.
