I too had this problem. I could play sound but not video and according to the help page I needed the java media framework to do this. JMF is not in the repositories so I downloaded it from sun and tried to install it - this failed but I found a web page detailing how to rename the bin to zip, extract it, rename it back to bin and then execute it! This apparently installed JMF but still no video but I do now get the sound from the video (maybe I should have stood on one leg with my finger in my ear before executing the bin file). I then found this page and installed the missing gsteamer ffmpeg (I already had the good plugin) but still no video. I agree with the comments above the lack of a simple way to insert a video when the options are sitting there staring at you from the menus. It is a real turnoff for most users - if there is an insert video option it should insert video or at least tell you what to install to make it work.
