For legal reasons, free linux distro's don't come with all neccessary codes pre installed. However, you can install them yourself. Go to http://www.getautomatix.com/
install it and read about it a little bit. The tool will help you get most of the codecs installed no problem.

I think automatix is the easiest way but you may also checkout

http://www.medibuntu.org/

At https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu you 'll find some info about adding the medibuntu repositories
and getting the packages you need, like w32codecs .
