downloading library sources

go to another system with ubuntu.

do an apt-get install -d <package-name>
see location /var/cache/apt/archives/
there U will find these packages
copy them via cd or usb and transfer to YOUR folder (same location)

Thanks I will try it out; but isn't there a way out where i can download via windows.
You know windows dominate

Better download packages from Nucloskore threads Or Use Apt On Cd to make a Package Cd .. It will be easy to install and use

just tell us the name of packages/libraries and you are done

Thanks for the replies.
By the way what does Nucloskore thread mean.

Regarding the posting of library list.
There are many libraries mentioned in the section of how to install a mplayer in ubuntu forum. Below are only some of them. Besides some other packages also ask for diffrent libraries which are tedious to download one by one manually.

LOL Here is nucleskore thread http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=87790I think you lil confused atm. These libararies will not serve any purpose individually unless you are a developer. Tell me what exactly do you want to install. Is it Mplayer ??

Those lists are from the ubuntu forum how to i.e.[Howto] Successfully install the svn mplayer + gmplayer + all the codecs.

whats so special about mplayer. Use vlc much better than it. Also you need gstreamer codec pack to play all audio/video files through default ubuntu media player. Here are the download links for vlc & gstrteamer

Instructions to install:
put all the downloaded files into a folder say vlc( all vlc files)
move this folder to your home folder (just cut/copy and paste)
launch the terminal from application -> accessories -> Terminal and issue following commands

cd vlc (to change the directory to vlc)
sudo dpkg -i *.deb (this is to install all the packages with singal command)

use same steps to install gstreamer

Now listen to your Ubuntu

Thanks mate for the links.
I do use vlc player in windows.
For linux I tried it. I downloaded 0.8.6f source and tried compiling it .
I got the message libmad not found. I downloaded it and installed it ,now it was showing the error ffmpeg/avcodec.h not found. So I downloaded ffmpeg library and used it but again the same error .
I also tried it on my friends comp. which had fedora 8 again the same error.
So now I am trying to install mplayer.

May i advice you to reinstall ubuntu and then try installing vlc, gstreamer from above links. I have successfully installed these many times without any problem. Anyway here are links for mplayer+Devede.

Thanks for the links I downloaded those file and installed both players worked like charm.
I was offline for some time as I had vacations, so could not thank you.

By the way how did you generate those links for all those files.
I want to do the same way for other applications

Well you can't generate links if you don't have net connection @ home. If you want something more visit here
