tried the tracker-processes - r before, and I did again, it helps the media player to find where I put the video, but all I get for the '9' trailer is the row of dots back and forth, same one I get a boot up.

After I put the sample in a file system I could see from the terminal, the mplayer could play the '9.mp4' file, but the sound did NOT sync and one of the messages was telling me that my system was too slow to play the sample.

so No Joy

Any other Ideas?
