From the command line this will give you a list of available plugins:

aptitude search gstreamer | grep plugins

To install just type:

sudo aptitude install <package-name>

Or you can use the Package Manager (System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager) to search for and install packages.

Probably need to make sure your repositories are setup correctly. Either look at /etc/apt/sources.list or System -> Administration -> Software Sources.

 Went to software sources, downloaded the programs, and this solved my problem. I really don't know how, but I'm happy for the solution. THANKS
