Mplayer and the binary codec package is a potent combination for pretty much all your internet video needs on Linux. In this tutorial, Peter walks you through the installation on an Ubuntu system.
Peter Upfold is a technology enthusiast from the UK. Peter’s interest in Linux stems back to 2003, when curiosity got the better of him and he began using SUSE 9.0. Now he runs Ubuntu on his white MacBook, runs a CentOS-based web server from home for his personal website and dabbles in all sorts of technology things.

If you are using Ubuntu, it's probably better to install the codecs from the w32codecs (or w64codecs or ppc-codecs) package in the Medibuntu repository. There is more info about that at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
For Debian users, information for retrieving the w32codecs package is available from http://www.debian-multimedia.org/. You can also find some other packages like MythTV in the debian-multimedia.org repository.
