Not sure what your question is.. Do you have video or audio data you would like to play back?

OK, well you can install the video player "VLC", but there is a default one already installed, "totem". Its just under Applications->Sound and video->Movie player

You may need more codecs installed to play back specific media, such as ASF (rare-ish), or DVDs. Installing this is easy.
