Quite likely. You could try installing gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse, gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly, gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse instead of w32codecs and see if that does it. I never know which one of those has the "right" codecs so just install them all. I note though that my new ibex machine already has them all which i suspect is a by product of installing the ubuntu-restricted-extras package.
