No able to play videos in Ocelot Beta

Asked by Shepherd-peter

I am using the most recent Beta version of Ubuntu. Youtube and other video sites work, but no video works in Totem Movie Player, Banshee, or VLC. All I have is the sound from the video, but not the picture.

On other sites than YouTube, that have live streaming, I can't get any video at all.

I am using a Dell Optiplex, a Dell LCD monitor, and a Dell media keyboard.
