That video demonstrates installing the Linux version of Matlab under Ubuntu. It sounds like you have the Windows version of Matlab, so this leaves you with following options:

• Get the Windows version of Matlab.
• Try running your copy of Matlab under Wine.

OR

• Install linux version of matlab. According to this thread if you have purchased legally you should get matlab for windows,linux and mac without any extra cost.

OR

• Install windows in virtualbox and use matlab in that.

A quick introduction to Wine is available here.
