Install Audio/Video codec in Linux

People who use Linux distribution have to face one common problem. That is playing multimedia files in Linux. Most time MP3 and most video codec are not include in Linux distributions.

So you have to download the all necessary codec and install them. The best codec pack for Linux i’ve got is the Gstreamer Codec Pack. This package includes most popular codec. You can download them all from http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/download/. All of them are source packages. After you download, unzip, configure, compile and install them. Here are the command that you need

Unzip : tar –zxvf gstreamer-0.10.30.tar.gz

Configure : ./configure

Compile the package : make

To Install : make install
