   Yeah it's fast, but it crashes regularly for me after suffering the
famed 99% CPU problem. Azureus says to upgrade to java 1.5 .... which
isn't available for Debian amd64 yet. (well at least not as an apt-get
upgrade from blackdown.)

As for the original question....when you asked about "viewing movies"
are you talking about viewing DVDs or viewing any movies (Xvid / DivX,
etc)?  I use Totem to watch TV shows or other things in mpeg4/avi
format. I like Xine for watching DVDs. I like that both of them DO
have a menu bar (when not full screen) so I can select options. When I
have used mplayer I was frustrated by no menu bar and trying to guess
at keyboard commands.
