Possibly related to this bug. If that is it, a fix was released. Which version of Ubuntu are you running?

Otherwise, do you have the necessary codecs installed to play your file? You can get support for most the common restricted media formats by doing

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

I am using 10.04 lts, already have the restricted codecs via medibuntu I will have a look at the bug fix.

Thanks
