I was using RealPlayer, It was doing the job but, no seek bar, and also for some videos the image keeps flickering. So I followed these instructions and worked fine for me.
Except that I couldn’t install “sudo apt-get install libstdc++5″ it seems not included in the repository. the video part working fine but no sound, I just started changing Audio driver until it worked [it is oss:ioctl audio output ].
Thanks a lot )

well you could also goto http://www.real.com/linux/ and download the .bin, .rpm or the .deb at the bottom.

Thanks. It worked after I installed libstdc++5, having done all else you mentioned here.
