You will be offered the choice of several players. The <guilabel>Adobe Flash Player</guilabel> is the official plugin, which should offer the best support for videos. Unfortunately, it is proprietary software and so cannot be supported directly by Ubuntu. The Swfdec and Gnash players are not proprietary and so are supported. You may also find them to be more stable (cause fewer problems) than the official player.

If none of the other instructions in this section work with a particular video, try using a different media player. <ulink url="apt:vlc">VLC</ulink> and <ulink url="apt:mplayer">MPlayer</ulink> support a wide range of formats; it is recommended that you try one of these.
