"I don't even know what xine is"
Xine is the most stable, most flexible and the best in browser-plugin supported multimedia engine on linux.
If you install it with all the plugins then you can possibly watch any kind of video on the internet.
I used it reliably for around 3 years without a single crash; even GNOME, KDE are crashable, xine when properly installed will never crash.
Trying to install it by compiling and linking and other methods is more like a developer job than an administrator, so ubuntu made it easy to install it and all of its libraries and other applications that work ontop of that engine like xine-ui, gxine,... etc
Its not this but if you need more applications then Add/Remove applications will help you almost install all free appz on your system with little effort assuming you have a decent Broadband connection.

You lost me at a very unknowledgable person needing xine. I don't even know what xine is, and you can't search for a word you don't know!
