The debian multimedia team is not related to that site, and using it
can cause breakage in your computer. Please remove that site from your
sources.list, and remove all the packages coming from there,
installing the debian versions. However, in order to help we are going
to need more information:

1. What sort of videos? DVDs? Downloaded videos from internet? Youtube?
2. What output do you get from the video players when trying to play them?
