I think you need to install restricted extras. See How do I install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package? But note that if it's a non-persistent live image, it will get wiped on reboot.

You can create a persistent live drive (and use all available drive space) with mkusb. Install withsudo apt update && sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras; You can also store some video files on the same drive, if there is space enough for it. The restricted-extra package and the video files will persist (survive reboot) in a persistent live drive.

The first program I install on a new Persistent, (ie mkusb), flash drive is VLC Media Player, The first time I try to open a video file it offers to install the required codecs.
