You have openh264 installed already which should cover your bases. Since it quite clearly isn’t I’m not sure what to suggest. What file manager is this that’s having issues?

Ext4 is a filesystem. That is the part of the kernel that actually stores and retrieves the files on disk. What program are you using to browse files? It’s a bit hard to tell from this screenshot what program it’s a screenshot of, but it looks like Nautilus (the default file browser in GNOME). Is that it?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
