I've managed to solve the problem to a certain extent- 1.) "ubuntu-restricted-extras" and "gstreamer0.10" uninstalled. 2.) System rebooted. 3.) "ubuntu-restricted-extras" and "gstreamer0.10" reinstalled. All types of video and audio can play, except for any Windows Media (wmv, wma, etc) files. I'm sorry if this has wasted your time- I have little experience with Ubuntu.
