Just wanted to say thanks. My video works finally, without having to even so much as ask a question other than to follow your steps.
Which version of Ubuntu are you running? You only need to add the Medibuntu repo manually if the wget command doesn't work, which happens with alpha/beta releases sometimes.
The commands that apply to you can be executed by copying and pasting them into the terminal, hitting "Enter" and then entering your password.
I hope that helps. Try re-reading my instructions in the howto, as I think it will become clearer and make more sense to you the more you absorb the information.
hi! i'm actually quite new to the ubuntu community and though i find this OS quite impressive for its "easy usage" style i still have some issues that i can't, with my current knowledge, work around. for instance, and i hope this is the right thread to ask, this one: when i play a video (h264 in mp4 container, for example) with desktop efects enabled i get this weird glitch... it's like the video moves off screen and starts getting glitched into mplayers (and also other video players) interface. pretty weird if you ask me... then, intuitively i thought of switching of desktop effects off. that seemed to do the trick, but i still have some bad image quality (i get some video stuttering from time to time that include horizontal fashioned video sync problems and i even experience some short freezes..) in addition to the annoying fact that i have to set desktop effects off every time i want to watch a video.
i actually don't mind much about the desktop effect switching issue, but the video quality does get mi a bit bitter
first of all i hope i posted in the right section and also that if theres anybody out there that can lend my sorry self a hand to please do so
many thanks in advance! i do really hope i'm not being an annoyance already...
forgot to mention: i'm running ubuntu x64 on a P5E Q6600 SupremeFXII HD4850 (downloaded the catalyst video drivers -> 9.1 installed via super user) 4Gigs of DDR2...

What graphics device do you have? Do you have problems with all vids, or just some? See if you notice the artifacts whilst using a different video output drive, Xvideo (Xv) is default. You can change the output driver in MPlayer's and VLC's preferences.
All I can say is thank you. That was very easy and worked without issue.
I have loved this how to since it first appeared! I'm having some trouble with it this time around though. I'm running Hardy and everything in the how to went without a hitch until I tried to install winff. I got ffmpeg and avidemux to install one at a time...here's what I get when I try winff:
Any ideas?Code:tom@ubuntutnubu:~$ sudo apt-get install winff Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: winff: Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.14.1) but 2.12.9-3ubuntu5 is to be installed Depends: libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.21.6) but 1.20.5-0ubuntu1 is to be installed E: Broken packages
