Hi,

Probably completely unrelated but I have had similar problems when the region 
code is unset on a DVD drive (some drives are factory shipped like this).  If 
this is the case there is a util in Debain to set it easily.  Can't remember 
what it is called but it is quite logical and easy to find in APT.

Regards
Andrew
