What you have to do is, on the offline system, run

sudo apt-get install -s ubuntu-restricted-extras 

This will not install (it is just a simulation), but it will show you the dependencies packages that you need. In my case the output is

davide@brenna:~$ sudo apt-get install -s ubuntu-restricted-extras 
[sudo] password for davide: 
Lettura elenco dei pacchetti... Fatto
Generazione albero delle dipendenze       
Lettura informazioni sullo stato... Fatto
I seguenti pacchetti saranno inoltre installati:
  chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra flashplugin-installer gstreamer1.0-fluendo-mp3
  libavcodec-extra libavcodec-extra-56 ubuntu-restricted-addons
[...]

So I need to install also chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra flashplugin-installer gstreamer1.0-fluendo-mp3 libavcodec-extra libavcodec-extra-56 ubuntu-restricted-addons to make it work.

Look for these packages here - i386 or amd64 depends on whether you installed a 32 bit or a 64 bit distribution - download and install them by hand.
