[nzlug] Ubuntu and video

[Simon Bridge]

Personally, all I have done so far is:
sudo apt-get install libdvdread3
sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev fakeroot debhelper
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh
sudo apt-get install totem-xine
... and this allows totem-xine to play mpeg video 
(albeit, without sound for some reason)...

However: ffmpg2theora converted the file happily. :)
