Can I watch DVDs or listen to MP3s on an Ubuntu machine?

Not out of the box. Because of patent law restrictions, the all-freeware Ubuntu doesn’t support file formats with proprietary codecs. That means MP3s, DVDs, QuickTime movies, MPEGs and Windows Media files won’t play when you first boot up Ubuntu.
