You will need to do a lot of download manual work. But if you ready for that then following are instructions. 1. The default players or media related applications in Ubuntu, use gstreamer as backend. So if there is gstreamer plugin for a format then you can handle it. Examples, Totem Media Player, Rhythmbox Audio Player, Sound Juicer CD Ripper. 2. Go to http://packages.ubuntu.com to search for packages, their dependencies. Make sure that you choose release as dapper while searching package. 3. I suggest you download following packages and their dependencies: gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg, gstreamer0.10-pitfdll, gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse, gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly, gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse 4. Most of the above mentioned packages and their dependencies (many libraries) are in universe or multiverse section, as indicated in search results. You may safely ignore dependencies which are in main section. Packages in main section are not marked. 5. Refer this page to download w32codecs - binary dlls for some formats for which Free codecs are not available. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/WindowsCodecs 6. After you have all the .deb files, use command 'sudo -dpkg *.deb' to install them all in one go. Few packages may have circular dependencies and installation may fail if tried independently. Hope this helps. Onkar -- Passion - Some people climb mountains - others write Free software.
