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.
