For 8.10 you'll need to add the Medibuntu repository info https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu

Then (assuming you're using a 32bit version of Ubuntu) install w32codecs (from terminal "sudo apt-get install w32codecs"), if you're using 64bit Ubuntu install w64codecs instead.

Good luck,
George
