yeah I have also found this problem when I installed using Debian live usb but when I installed via Debian DVD on USB the problem was gone. I suppose problem is with the live usb installer. Also when I installed Debian on a virtual machine in windows through Debian live, the videos played fine. Don't know what this means.

Videos (Totem) plays *.avi files without any error. But the problem occurs for *.mp4, *.mkv, etc. How to solve the problem? N.B. VLC player works just fine ll these file formats in my case.
