You mean video is a pain using Ubuntu?

Many common video formats cannot be played on Ubuntu without the
installation of additional software. This is due to legal restrictions.

As with audio formats, due to legal and technical issues, many video formats
are not supported by the default Ubuntu install. While support for some
formats can be added at a later date, it is recommended that you convert
important video files in unsupported formats to a format which is well
supported in Ubuntu.

As with the audio formats, there are many video converter applications
available as free-of-charge downloads for Windows. Consider converting your
video files to a format which is well-supported by Ubuntu, such as Ogg
Theora.

The following major video formats are not supported by default in Ubuntu:

..WMV

..RealVideo

..DivX

..QuickTime


Thanks but NO THANKS. I'll stick with Windows.
