Playing videos

[Simon]

You don't need any special sources, just add universe and multiverse to your
existing dapper, dapper-updates, and possibly dapper-security, I just add
all three because I doubt that it would be harmful to me to do so, in any
circumstance.

I don't have any third party repositories, and I don't think I have trouble
playing media files ( I could be wrong... but I do download a lot of clips
and whatnot, and I don't recall any issues)

I suggest installing the packages mozilla-mplayer, libxine-extracodecs, and
w32codecs<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#head-6c942d1939d97331f96e42b63774003fde7daed5>.
I think those are enough to handle everything, but I might be forgetting
something.  If you like to use totem, I would also get totem-xine, but this
is optional.  If you use totem-gstreamer, then you'll want to install a
bunch of gstreamer plugin packages too.
