Yes, but I'm sure the process of enabling the playing of different codecs in Ubuntu is wonderful. It likely involves something akin to happy beautiful people gathering in a circle, holding hands, and smiling in feisty breezy dapper love of Canonical Ltd. The Ubuntu site had some info at https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/musicvideophotos/C/codecs.html. I gather you need to enable all of Ubuntu's "humanity to others" repositories (such as Universe, Multiverse, etc). Another option, instead of worrying about gstreamer plugins, is perhaps to simply install the w32codecs package, and perhaps also installing mplayer, should work. For me, I find I need to shoot high doses of insulin whenever I look at Canonical's sugary sweet Ubuntu site; so, it's no wonder you're looking here for your answers.
