Problems viewing videos im Ubuntu

[rjcalifornia]

Greetings!!

I have an ibook G3, and I am unable to watch videos. I used to have Kubuntu 7.10, but I changed to Ubuntu and now I cannot watch any of the videos that I have. No matter what media player I use...

Any advice?

Maybe install ubuntu-restricted-extras (apt://ubuntu-restricted-extras)? (Click link to install)

Alternate method:Open a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal) and give the command
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

to watch video, you need mplayer and w32codecs..
how to install..? I'm newbie. and i can't remember exactly what i did.
but it's easy to find.

Sorry, but installing the Ubuntu-restricted did not solve my problem.

Can it be that the video card drivers are not properly installed?
