Movie Player for Ubuntu

Ubuntu 5.04 on AMD-64. It comes with Totem. But when I inserted a
movie that I bought at a local store, Totem popped up and announced
"unable to play media: unspecified error."

>From reading on the net it appears that MPlayer might be better. But
it's not listed in synaptic. Is it possible to install it in Ubuntu?
Or are there other options besides Totem and MPlayer?
