Mark, there's no need to buy a new car just because your current one has a puncture (thanks, Rad) :-) . Follow the instructions below;
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpUbuntu
You're interested in the Multimedia Codecs. The command in the terminal is ;
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
Or try VLC;
sudo apt-get install vlc
Asante
