Getting Quicktime Trailers to work on Ubuntu Minimal Install

I love watching trailers with my wife so apple trailers has to work on my computer.  I have a Minimal Ubuntu install, so how do I get it to work?

I am running only Chromium and I needed something that will work and to install too much.  It does install about 40 megs of stuff so if you are wanting less space it might not be the solution for you.

I found it was pretty easy actually.  From a command line type:

sudo apt-get install mplayer gecko-mediaplayer

Say yes at the appropriate time, and restart your Chromium browser if it is open.  Now go watch some movie trailers!
