Totem not automatic

[Bob Barrett <bobbrrtt earthlink net>]

Totem will not play movie DVDs when inserted. First, some hardware and 
software information:

Processor: AMD Athlon (TM) XP 2800+ 1243.537 MHz
          L1 I Cache: 64K (64 bytes/line), D cache 64K (64 bytes/line)
          L2 Cache: 512K (64 bytes/line)

Mainboard: ASUS M7A625 A7N8X/K7/NC18D/AGP8X

          hdd: ATAPI 40X DVD-ROM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache, UDMA(33)

Not the latest, but it has been reliable, and I'm not a gamer.

Problem:

Totem will load and play, automatically, music CDs when inserted. This 
doesn't with movies.
Totem will start and crash with an error message.

I can get it to play movies with this routine:

1) Insert the movie DVD and wait for Totem to start and quit with the 
message:
  "Cannot Mount Volume. You are not privileged to mount the volume 
'MovieName'"

2) Run "mount /dvd" in a terminal. Totem will start and stop, but not 
quit, with the message:
  "Totem was not able to play this disc. No reason." Accept this message.

3) Bring down the Movie menu and click "Play Disk...".

Totem then plays the movie fine. I can live with this, but something is 
wrong.
Any ideas?

Thanks for your help,
Bob
