Dear Norberto,

I got it working, and completed the installation of the kubuntu restricted 
codecs.  When I play a movie, the video and sound are not syncronized.  Is 
this a new problem or a continuation of the one I had?  Should I post it as 
new, or do you have a solution.  Thanks for all your help.

Steven
