I might wait untill I get my other PC tomorrow then I can have even more fun with other distros that come with codecs, it's nothing too important anyway - just a few blue movies.

worker201:
Exactly what media player is it?

If you know what codecs you need, you can usually find a package that provides them.  What are you trying to watch, some sort of Matroska thing?  Perhaps WMV?  If a normal mpeg doesn't play, your system is fucking broken.

Aloone_Jonez:
Bump.

It's Totem Movie Player, I think I might try a manual installation, I went into Totem selected preferences and clicked on add proprietary plugins and a directory popped when I can install them. I'm assuming I can just copy the files but where can I donwload a simple archive containing them?

Aloone_Jonez:
As nobody knows/cares I think I might be able to sort this out myself if you can answer this question:

I have a Knoppix CD where abouts are the codecs stored and what file extension do they normally have if any?

Failing that I'll copy them from my Windows directory on dirve C:, if you could tell me their location/extention in Windows.

They would be somewhere in /usr/lib, I would guess.
With xine on this system the codecs are in /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.1.0/
With gstreamer on this system the codecs are in /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/
They're .so libraries.
