As 32 bit system,you need to install some Window codecs to play rmvb & rm format video.For 32 bit system,It is easy to find w32codecs from internet to install,but for AMD-64 version system like Ubuntu 8.10 AMD-64,you might need to spend some time to look for 64 bit codecs-w64codecs. I have a easy way to install w62codecs and libdvdcss2 in 3 minutes as followings :)

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list -O
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

 apt-get update

sudo apt-get install w64codecs & libdvdcss2
