gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse is installed, and the output for VLC is: l...@ubuntu-laptop:~$ vlc VLC media player 1.0.2 Goldeneye [0x9583140] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface. main warning: can't store message (Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character): found Chunk fourcc:28dd5416 ( [0xb7607a50] avcodec decoder error: cannot open codec (MPEG-4 Video) [0xb7607a50] main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `XVID'. VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.
