I like VLC.  It doesn't seem to have a full screen mode but it works
very nicely.  Totem has a great full screen mode but I was only able
to use it once.  When I first tried it I got an error message which
was similar to this: "Are you trying to view encrypted video without
libdvdcss?".  I turned on Synaptic, searched for, found and installed
libdvdcss2 and the movie played beautifully.  A couple of days later
I tried another movie and got the same error message.....  go figure.
That's when I tried VLC and it worked.


While VLC is playing a movie, try pressing F.  Just F, no alt or ctrl.

Works on Windows...
Doesn't work in Etch but I figured out what does. "Fullscreen" is under "Video" on the tool bar and right click anywhere on the screen to turn it off (by clicking on the checked "fullscreen" selection).
