I have a dual boot system with Windows 7 and Ubuntu installed. I want to install the multimedia codecs but I do not have an Internet connection in Ubuntu. I do have a connection in Windows, instead.

Is there a way to do so?

You can download packages manually and install them in Ubuntu.

Look at here and select what you need, then download them from here.

In Ubuntu, you can use mount(8) to mount the Windows partition.

Then run

dpkg -i /path/to/your/deb/debname.deb

to install these packages.

Notice that you may have to prepare everything necessary and install them in order because dpkg cannot download dependencies.
