Mplayer is supposed to be ultimate media player on Linux platform. This post introduces how to install pre-build Mplayer on Ubuntu/Kubuntu. Moreover, all-codecs package will be added to support varied media format.
1. Install Mplayer
sudo aptitude install mplayer
2. Install codecs
In order to play a variety of media, all-codecs package is strongly recommended. All-codecs package for different platform can be found:

I'm using Intel platform, so I download all-20061022.tar.bz2.
tar -xvjf all-20061022.tar.bz2
sudo cp all-20061022/*.* /usr/lib/codecs/
3. Configure
I change video output to xv (X11/Xv) in Preferences->Video, but this configure may not apply to you. Just have a try if it pops video output error message.
