Installing ALL MULTIMEDIA CODEC in Linux

At last ... now you can play most of multimedia format with no problem in Linux.

I'm using Fedora 7 (MoonShine) to do the steps below but you can apply it to any Linux Distro.
Note : YYYYMMDD = release date of the codecs for example : all-20061022.tar.bz2 was released October 22nd 2006. Change the YYYYMMDD in the command below with the date in file you downloaded.

1. Download the codecs from here (approximately 13 MB)
2. Launch your konsole > type su > enter > type your root password > enter
3. Go to the directory where you have downloaded the codecs
4. Un-tar the file by issuing tar -xzf all-YYYYMMDD.tar.bz2 command
5. Go to all-YYYYMMDD directory by issuing cd /all-YYYYMMDD command
6. Create two directory by issuing the following command
• mkdir /usr/local/lib/codecs >
  
• mkdir /usr/lib/win32
7. Type cp * /usr/local/lib/codecs/
8. Type chmod 755 /usr/local/lib/codecs/*
9. Type cp /usr/local/lib/codecs/* /usr/lib/win32/
10. Type reboot

You're done ... Enjoy Watching movie and listen to your favorite music.
