no RED in video file display

If you're using the proprietary, unsupported driver from nvidia then the open source community can't help you.

Please consider trading your card for a card with an open source driver.

I am using the drivers from Ubuntu, I assumed they were supported. The card isn't the problem as it works fine on still pictures and streaming video via ANT. (And it worked fine till I tried to play a DVD.)

please provide the output of 'lsmod' here. This will show which modules you're using.

Thanks Shahar Or, that solved my question.

To Ed Stone,
I seem to have the same problem and like to know how your problem was solved. Maybe a small pointer here?
Thanks a lot,
Paul
