If you tried to play a video that there are codecs packaged for in
Ubuntu, and you weren't automatically prompted to install the codes when
you opened the video in Totem (GNOME's movie player), please file a bug. [0]

If you don't think the documentation available through the Help entry
under the System menu (or online [1]) isn't good enough, you can file a
bug about that too [2] (or even join the documentation team [3] if
you're ambitious).

I know it can be annoying to hear someone say "it should work, file a
bug", but if the technical users take a few minutes to do this then the
experience should get better for the novice users.
