Guide to getting mp3 and video working

[Subs]

Thanks for your (incredibly) quick reply Lothar. I looked up the page you 
stated and there seems to be a wealth of information there. However, I 
followed the steps and (am pretty such) that I selected all the universes, 
multiverses and the like. Then I copy and pasted

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-pitfdll gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg 
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse 
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gxine 
libxine-main1 libxine-extracodecs ogle ogle-gui

but got the error

subs at mydomain:~$ sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-pitfdll 
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad 
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly 
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gxine libxine-main1 libxine-extracodecs 
ogle ogle-gui

What's a girl to do?
