To find out which backend you are using, open Totem, go to Help | About and it should be listed under the Totem version number.
To install totem-xine, open System | Administration | Synaptic Package Manager, search for 'totem-xine', mark it for installation by right-clicking the totem-xine package and then click the Apply button. This will install totem-xine, which will just be called 'Movie Player' or 'Totem' in the Applications menu. Then try to play a DVD using it!
Thanks for the replies.
