Hello charan:

You can try out real player

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4737528

or

mplayer which is a good alternative to real player

Install Mplayer in Ubuntu Hardy Heron

You need to add the following lines to /etc/apt/sources.list file or you need to make sure you have enabled Universe and multiverse repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list file

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Make sure you have the following two lines save and exit your file

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy universe multiverse

Now you need to run the following command to update the source list

sudo apt-get update

Install mplayer using the following command

sudo apt-get install mplayer

if you want to open mplayer just type

gmplayer

or

You can Open from Applications—>Sound&Video—> Mplayer Movie Player
