Media

[R.L. Reingard]

hello Vignesh
indian citizen?
by default you should have TOTEM-gstreamer installed. which does not play  
much.
you better check out here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com//RestrictedFormats

i use TOTEM to play most of my media (there are a few other players too).
for this i deinstalled TOTEM-gestreamer and installed TOTEM-xine (through  
Synaptic this is very easy done) as explained in the link above.
if TOTEM fails to run some of the DVD's, i always go back to XINE (name in  
Synaptic is: xine-ui) itself, which runs everything i put into CD-Drive.

what will be necessary too is installing stuff like (at least i did  
install them for some reason i do not remember now exactly):

'libdvdcss2'
'libdvdnav'
'libdvdread'

and

after installing TOTEM-xine (which will automatically deinstall  
TOTEM-gstreamer), you have to install 'gstreamer0.8-mad' which will help  
to run MP3 in TOTEM.

and

'libmad0' - from multiverse repository (MP3 support for non-gstreamer  
players)

and

'w32codecs'

for all that, you should enable 'universe' and 'multiverse' repositories  
in Synaptic. follow the link here:

best wishes,
