Is there any mean to buy the missing codecs?  I cannot read videos most of the videos, some make it crash!

I do not understand the problem of the codec. VlC and SM player, for instance, have all the necessary codecs and are nevertheless free. How do they do?

As you are on mint, all you have to do to install the missing codecs is run

Code:

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg

in a terminal and almost everything should be playable.

VLC uses a different playback library than Nightingale.
