I'm trying out Ubuntu again, and every now and again I come across videos on the net that I can not run. What would be a must have program with most all the proper codecs I'll need to run most of the content.Thanks! I running 8.04

Please take a look at my guide on codecs in my signature.

It will install just about every know codec for ubuntu with 1 command (copy/paste work).

Not that the ubuntu-restricted-extras doesn't install everything (not even by a long shot).
