Another thing that works is go to the mplayer homepage and

/usr/lib/codecs (create it if it doesn't exist).
Then install mplayer.
I just installed mplayer and it does play MP4 files in a kind of smallish window. But that doesn't appear to affect KDE integrated DragonPlayer or Kmplayer, that is, they still don't play MP4s. Not sure how to get them to work. Thanks


You need to install, as tv.debian has already suggested, the full set of codecs. Follow his/her suggestion and run: aptitude search ~S~i~n'(libav|aac|aad|gstreamer|lame|ogg|ogv|mpeg|quicktime|xine|vlc)'
then compare your output to the one listed in tv.debian's answer.
