    You must report this bug in launchpad. For this open your terminal(Ctrl+Alt+t) and type:-



    ubuntu-bug totem


    If you are tired of filing a bug :-




    • Try reinstalling totem(the default Video player in Ubuntu) from software centre:-


    Install via the software center



    or from terminal:-



    sudo apt-get install totem



    • Also instead of doing that you can install some other media player,like VLC.


    You can do it from the software centre :-



    Install via the software center



    or from terminal:-



    sudo apt-get install vlc


    Let me also make you aware that due to Ubuntu's Free Software philosophy they can't include non-free media formats out of the box.




    "Ubuntu strives to make all of the most important software available to
    its users automatically. However patent and copyright restrictions
    (see Ubuntu License Policy) complicate distribution of software to
    support non-free formats.



    However, you can install the ability to play popular non-free media
    formats, including DVD, MP3, Quicktime, and Windows Media formats"



    (look here for more info)




    So you need to install those formats manually(if you are going to use totem)by install the Ubuntu restricted extras from the software center:



    Install via the software center



    or from your terminal:



    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
