Step 1.) Your post is a mess. Please use the ENTER key & make paragraphs.

Step 2.) In order to get those DVD libs & programs, you will need to add a new repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list file. Visit http://debian.video.free.fr/ and toward the bottom of the the page, it shows you the line you need to add.

Step 3.) Run your package utility of choice and perform an update of the HD package lists: aptitude update, apt-get update

Step 4.) Then run your package utility of choice (apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, etc.) and install those packages.
