Do you have libxine-extracodecs installed ?

Description: the xine video/media player library, binary files
 This is the xine media player library (libxine).
 Libxine provides the complete infrastructure for a video/media player.
 It supports MPEG 1/2 and some AVI and Quicktime videos out of the box,
 so you can use it to play DVDs, (S)VCDs and most video files out there.
 It supports network streams, subtitles and even mp3 or ogg files.

The package is in "multiverse" .
