I had problems with my movie player. The sound was fine but the picture seemed to hesitate or stick or pause every few seconds so I was looking for some help on how to do this.

I tried to install a command in the terminal and got this message:

E:Malformed line 68 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse)

Can someone tell me how to fix this problem. I cannot open the software center or the update manager. The only other option I can think of is to wipe everything out and do a clean install. Thank you.
