actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
Enable the restricted repo in synaptic then run:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

if you still get no joy then try adding the medibuntu repo:

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list --output-
document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list; sudo apt-get update &&
sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update

You can then install either ww32codecs or w64codecs depending on the
architecture of your Ubuntu

uname -a

will tell you. i686 means 32bit, x86_64 is 64bit.
