I spent days downloading and installing codecs, following all of the
recommendations and suggestions from various official and Ubuntu
Community sources.  All resulting with non-functional audio and video
applications.

The fact is that automatix does what the Ubuntu team won't or can't
do, deliver an audio/video package that works.

I'll be updating my laptop from edgy to fiesty and will let the list
know how it goes with automatix2 installed.
