Marillat's repository contains useful debian packages like mplayer, acrobat reader etc., To install let's say libdvdcss2 package from this repository follow these instructions.
1) Go to the end of http://debian.video.free.fr/
2) Copy the appropriate repository address. For example if you are running Debian Sid (unstable) on an i386 machine then you need to copy this line
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main
3) paste this line into /etc/apt/sources.list . Note that you need to have root permissions to edit the sources.list file
4) update the sources by doing
wajig update
5) Now install the necessary package(s) by running
wajig install libdvdcss2
This method is much more easier compared to downloading the package and installing it by hand using 'dpkg -i'.
