Bug Description

Machine is Compaq Presario SR1110NX Intel 2.53 GHZ 768 DDR 8meg On-board Video(unknown brand). I'm running Ubuntu 10.4.
Besides the Totem player, I've got VLC, the MPlayer movie player,Miro Internet TV. I've installed Flash, any codecs package That I could find, but when I try to play .flv, .avi, .divx files the players will only play the sound but not the visual.(Totem cancels out altogether.)
And why doesn't a player automatically find a suitable codec? Why hasn't the Ubuntu programmers put a working media player with all the standard codecs already installed?

affects: gnome-nettool (Ubuntu) → ubuntu
