Thanks a lot, Axel.  I was able to burn an iso DVD image, and play both 
it and the dvd burned from it in xine.  The menus did things that looked 
sensible :-)

But then things began to go wrong and I really must leave the system 
alone for a few days to get other things done.  I had done today's 
complete upgrade (in FC5), and when I tried to play the dvd in the myth 
internal player it looked for lib XvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1 and silently 
quit the frontend.  After a logout I couldn't get anything 
nvidia-related to work and I'm currently using my default version of 
xorg.conf

I had upgraded earlier to 9626 and was using it, but hadn't uninstalled 
8776 which was upgraded today.

So:  many thanks, again, for all your efforts, but I'm intending to be 
offline for a few days now.  Please update the myth ticket when you 
think it's appropriate.
