then there should not be any problem
try doing the following

for gutsy
open the Terminal, and copy and paste the following command

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

then copy and paste the following command

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

then again copy and paste the following command

wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update

and this one too

sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2

and the following too

sudo apt-get install w32codecs

to know what each step means visit
