trouble playing .mov files

[Josh Coffman]

No error, just stops. mplayer can play the movie if I download it, which is

I think I've kinda made by box a little screwy by mixing repos.

perhaps a better question is how to clean up a system?
only I'm hesitant to do so because everything is running almost perfect.
