codecs

whats the easiest free alternative to installing audio and video codecs in fedora?

http://rpm.livna.org/rlowiki/


However, as much as I love Fedora, I found that some of Livna's packages such as some XMMS plugins and VLC were very buggy since Fedora 8. However, it's the best repository offered until RPMFusion comes out.

Look on the Fedora forum, there are two different scripts that will install all of the codecs and some additional fixes. Getting multimedia working in Fedora is real easy now.

Sorry, missed this thread. Here is the contents of my script to give all of my Fedora boxes: Media Codecs, Flash, MS Fonts, and a little extra.

Code:
