Well I got around to rebooting, and still no go. Also tried it in
normal xine, and I got a dialog box that icouldn't fully read, the
text went off the window. I attached a screenshot of it. The video
didn't show. And I went to try in mplayer, but apparantly there is no
mplayer package in testing?
"Stregone:/home/stregone# wajig install mplayer
Reading Package Lists... Done

Package mplayer is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package mplayer has no installation candidate"
