video extension problem...

Asked by Niyas 628

It is the greatest problem observed by me. The media player coming with ubuntu does n't support common video extension such
as .dat(general extension in video cd) ,.mpg,.mp3,.mp4...
I can not play the video cd's with ubuntu...
How can I work these video files in my ubuntu 9.10?..

If you want to play commercial video dvds you will need to add the medibuntu repo and install libdvdcss2

sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update; sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2

Should sort you nicely
