Well I am not sure what codecs my Debian has :D . Just kidding . I have debian squeeze with only main and contrib enabled. I then installed gnome desktop and I have got a media player which kind of plays everything :D On the youtube issue . When I go to a youtube video it asks me to install flash player which I kept on ignoring . Today my friend gave a link to a youtube video which he prepared on Mint customisation . So I went to youtube > Help > search for "html5" it gave a link which I clicked which enabled HTML5 by default and yes I was able to play my friends video :) And he recently uploaded it with only 10 as view count .
