I figured just getting Xine working like before would have been easier.

The internal player runs, but the video is garbled. (odd vertical  entities, but not what I would call full stripes)

This only happens for ISO's (not mpegs or AVI's)

The ISO's are direct conversions of DVD's I own, so they have the full start-up "menus" that the DVD's would normally display.

I get none of this with  the internal player.

However, Xine works fine across the network NFS link (or local file as in the previous life).

What other information would be helpful for me to provide?
