Even though I'm a newbie living in Australia, I soon figured out the problem with Totem. The annoying thing IS....Microsoft ships XP & Vista with their Windows Media Player which AUTOMATICALLY plays DVDs. And the puzzling thing IS, on a previous installation - Ubuntu 8.10 - I got a pop-up window on Totem that said: TOTEM CANNOT PLAY THIS DVD. SHALL TOTEM SEARCH FOR PROPER CODECS? Which it did...and then the DVD played. Curious, non? This didn't happened when I installed Jaunty 9.4....
