dvd and media players

[Alfred]

VLC has the Codec's built in, but the other Linux Players need the
Codecs to play the DVD's. There used to be Easy Ubuntu and Automatix and
there was on of these things in Ubuntu as well, that would go to all the
places and download all these things automatically for you. Once the
codecs are installed the the media players work pretty good for just
about anything!
