Finally my Ubuntu plays .rmvb and .mkv movies, yay, one less problem in Ubuntu. In case you don't notice just try to play mkv files with Totem (default Ubuntu media player), it plays sound only at best.
One problem solved means one more reason to love Ubuntu.
The solution is simple really, all you have to do is to use the proper media player and right codecs, in this case mplayer. You have to install these from synaptic package manager :
Not so sure about these gstreamer, but hey got nothing to lose, you'll need it to play mp3 and restricted media files anyway. Install it via Synaptic Package Manager :
I found this helpful info in simplehelp.net. You should visit it too, if you want to play these files properly.

The solution is simple really, all you have to do is to use the proper media player and right codecs, in this case mplayer. You have to install these from synaptic package manager :
- mplayer
- mencoder
- mplayer-skins (optional)
- since you have to make some change in filesystem, you should become superuser . Go to Accesories -> Terminal, type sudo nautilus,
- go to /usr/lib/ and make new folder name it as codecs,
- extract all the files under the folder /essential-date in essential-date.tar.bz2 to /usr/lib/codecs
- close nautilus
- start your mplayer and play those mkv and rmvb files.
Not so sure about these gstreamer, but hey got nothing to lose, you'll need it to play mp3 and restricted media files anyway. Install it via Synaptic Package Manager :
- gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly,
- gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad,
- gstreamer0.10-plugins-good.
