Recently I've been having a problem playing videos in Ubuntu: all I see is a green screen. This happens for Totem Movie Player, mplayer and VLC. So far I fixed the problem in VLC. What I need to do is to go to Tools > Preferences > Video and choose X11 video output (XCB) under Display Output. Un-checking the "Accelerated video output (Overlay)" works too. Using Xvideo as the output will cause the green screen.
Another useful tool for converting ogv file to high definition mp4 file is Arista Transcoder. You can install it from Ubuntu Software Center.
Also I installed all the libraries for media support mentioned in this post: 3 things to do after installing or upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04. Now I can also play mp4 file in the Chrome browser.
