video

After upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04 VLC or any other media player that plays .mov, .mp4, .wmv etc. is playing with a blank screen but audio is fine. It was working on 11 before the upgrade. Any suggestions for a fix? Flash based video (e.g. youtube) works fine.

After some searching I tried installing Ubuntu restricted extras - suspecting a codecs issue, but this has no effect.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
