    What codecs do I need

    Just installed Gutsy. It seems the codec packages have changed again for this release. On feisty I used to install libxine-extracodecs but this doesn't seem to be showing. I also used to install libdvdread and win32codecs.

    What packages do I need with Gutsy to enable mp3,dvd and video playback?

    thanks

    Re: What codecs do I need

    Maybe this:

    http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/met...tricted-extras
    Package: kubuntu-restricted-extras (10) [multiverse]
    Commonly used restricted packages

    This package depends on some commonly used packages in the Kubuntu multiverse repository.

    Installing this package will pull in support for MP3 playback and decoding, Java runtime environment, Flash plugin, DVD playback, and LAME (to create compressed audio files).

    Please note that packages from multiverse are restricted by copyright or legal issues in some countries. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing for more information.

        No, you need to install w32codecs (some players could have support build in).

          libxine1-ffmpeg is the kind of replacement for libxine-extracodecs

            MP3 Plugin for MusicBrainz tagging library

            Note#2
            For cd ripping (mp3) you need lame + liblame0. More:
