Well, when I used Fedora and Ubuntu I had to install the audio and video codecs using a external repository. However on Archlinux I did not have to install any package for that the media reproductor could play the files as .mp3 or .avi. Just I installed KDEmod and it works

I did not find information related to this query searching on google. If you can give me any answer I will be very grateful.

Thanks in advance

There are four ways to decode your media files: One is gstreamer codecs, in packages gstreamer0.10-*, the second is xine codec, provides by xine-lib, the third is mplayer, the fourth is vlc. I guess Fedora and Ubuntu removed some illegal things from those packages but arch just don't care about that.

Thanks a lot for your answer it is very useful:

root /home/zuargo # pacman -Qs gstreamer
root /home/zuargo # pacman -Qs mplayer
local/kmplayer 0.11.1b-1
Video player plugin for Konqueror and basic MPlayer/Xine/ffmpeg/ffserver/VDR frontend for KDE
root /home/zuargo # pacman -Qs xine-lib
local/xine-lib 1.1.16.3-3
A free video player for Unix

That is to say on my system xine-lib provides the multimedia codecs

Well, we decided to have even in chakra-minimal almost all video/audio codecs on it. Love to see my videos on my netbook during train-travels ...

In what package are the audio and video codecs?
