[ubuntu-uk] FLV Video Problem

[Nigel Verity]

Hi

I'm running Xubuntu 12.04 and have recently lost the ability to play FLV video files, regardless of their source. The files themselves play perfectly when I copy them to another machine with the same version of the OS, so it's not a corruption problem.

Clearly I have somehow deleted or damaged the appropriate codecs or associated files. Can anybody advise on which objects to check and/or reinstall?

VLC displays an error message saying the format is not recognised. Mplayer just does nothing. However, Handbrake is still able to convert the file to MP4.

Thanks very much
