Hi Farran,

Installing the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package should fix video
playback problems for proprietary formats. If you also want to play
restricted formats like .wmv then you can enable the medibuntu
repository and install the 'w32codecs' package. Instructions to add the
medibuntu repository can be found at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#Adding%20the%20Repositories

Hope that helps you out.
