[1] What format of video?
[2] Which players?
[3] What codecs got installed?

Try running the player from command line with the file path as the 
argument, like 'totem /home/magesh/videos/thevideo.avi'
When you try to play a video file which need codecs, Ubuntu asks whether 
it can install codec if the corresponding format has one and if given 
yes for the installation, it installs the codec and plays the file. 
Sometimes it may need to close the player and open it again.

Which channel? #ubuntu? Try #ubuntu-in from next time, which is the 
channel of the Indian team.

Again which file format and which player? Can you please try doing the 
above said "run command from terminal" procedure and show us whatever 
comes on the screen (Please paste the output from the terminal on to a 
pastebin like pastebin.com and give the link for the page to us)?
