I would suggest you type the following commands into a terminal.
It should install some codecs you need:

  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extra

I tried that and also tried searching and re-installing the ubuntu-restricted-extra, but it would not work...

This is what I got in the cmd line:
root@pink-vaio:/home/jonathan# sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extra
sudo: unable to resolve host pink-vaio
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package ubuntu-restricted-extra
root@pink-vaio:/home/jonathan#
