    To do this from Unity you can use the software center as in the following:

    1. Press Super (the Windows key).
    2. Type software center and press Ubuntu Software Center.
    3. In the search dialog of Ubuntu Software Center type ubuntu-restricted-extras
    4. This should show you the package containing the codecs. Mark it and press install.

  2. You can install "ugly" GStreamer plugin from Software Center or issue the following command:

    sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
