How-to install w32codecs the easy way

How to add extra repositories, type:
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
in a terminal and add these lines:

deb http://antesis.freecontrib.org/mirrors/ubuntu/plf/ breezy free non-free
deb-src http://antesis.freecontrib.org/mirrors/ubuntu/plf/ breezy free non-free

hit the "save" button in gedit and close it.

Type:
sudo apt-get update
in a terminal and
sudo apt-get install w32codecs

There are also other packages like libdvdcss2 and sun-j2re1.5 on the same mirror.
Look here:

I hope you understand my english are very bad.

Are these repos safe to keep in your sources.list? (i.e. they won't break your system if you leave them enabled)

Thanks for this,

O.k. Do I get that right. You need more people that build packages?

I am not a part of the PLF projekt. But it looks like they want people to help them build packages.

Re: How-to install w32codecs the easy way

I have tryed to use them with online radio and DVD-movies, i find these files work better than those from:
ftp.nerim.net or ftp://cipherfunk.org
With libdvdcss2 from
http://antesis.freecontrib.org/mirrors/ubuntu/plf/
my dvd menues work better.

Fine - I'll have to try that. Maybe my mplayerplugin will crash less often.

You should change "konsole" to "in a terminal", because not everyone uses kde and this is not desktop enviroment specific
