Hi Andy,  I downloaded from the repositories as you suggested from Medibuntu and I still cant view videos. Also I checked the boxes in Software sources as Mac suggested, with no luck. When I go to the Hardware drivers in System I still get: No proprietary drivers are in use on this system.. There is something I am not doing right, but I sure dont know what??

Please follow the instructions from
Medibuntu to get all the codecs and drivers

Hi David, First let me thank you
for taking the time to answer my query. I am using Firefox as browser, When I
check for drivers I get "no proprietary drivers are in use on this
system". As for the restricted-extras I dont know which ones are
required.  Thank you.
