I just downloaded and installed it. Adobe Flash Player is not there. Could somebody please tell me how to install Flash Player?
I tried to play the xvid movie. It says "The playback of this movie requires the following decoders which are not installed:
AC-3 (ATSC A/52) decoder
XVID MPEG-4 decoder.
I tried to play a DVD. It says "The playback of this movie requires a DVD source plugin which is not installed".
Could someone please help me resolve these?
Thanks and regards
