I "upgraded' to Kubuntu after using Ubuntu for several months (11.04). I had always been able to play mp4 video with movie player. While using Dragon player i received a notifier message that packages were available to make Dragon player work better. I followed the prompts until "package installed successfully". Now Dragon Player plays only audio and a white scren. Movie player insists on searching for a h.264 encoder which it can't find.
Any clues appreciated...
Thanks

You need to add the Medibuntu Repository and Key and then follow the instructions for Playing Encrypted DVDs With the entire Medibuntu repository and Playing Non-Native Media Formats With the entire Medibuntu repository

I added Kubuntu to Ubuntu. Everything worked as before, including the mp4 files. It was only after installing the packages suggested by the Kubuntu notifier "There are packages that can help Dragon player work better" (words to that effect), that all the media players syopped working. I was wondering if there was a way to roll back the installation.
Thanks,
