I have an video file in rmvb format, but vlc player and totem crashes when I try to play it. Is there any way to install realplayer on ubuntu, and if not, how is it possible to play this video on ubuntu?

p.s.: sorry, my english is poor.

If VLC doesn't play it, nothing will play it! (It's probably a corrupt file)

If you could post the file itself somewhere, I could have a look at it with a hex editor, or if you would like you can do that yourself by:

sudo apt-get install ghex
ghex /path/to/file

and then comparing the first screen you see in ghex (the header of the file) to another .rmvb file.
