Ubuntu cannot ship(for legal reasons) some popular proprietary media codecs.
You can install all these codecs by simply installing a package named
"ubuntu-restricted-extras" which gives you all of these- Adobe Flash for
watching YouTube videos, Microsoft Core Fonts for viewing some sites
properly, Java, MP3/M4A/ACC/ETC playback, .RAR extraction, pretty much most
video codec's one would likely need (.avi, .divx, .wmv, etc) and a ton more
besides.

In Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala:-

1) Go to System-->administration-->Software Sources, then check all the
boxes under "downloadable from internet" (if it's not already ticked).

2) Then go to Applications-->> Ubuntu Software Center, search for "ubuntu
restricted extras" & install the package by clicking the small arrow button.

In older versions:-

There is no "Ubuntu Software Center".

1) Follow step 1 as above

2)Then go to Terminal, type "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras".
