1.  vlc has its own codecs included and shouldn't need anything extra
installed to play vids.

2.  the codex won't help you, it'll just turn to dust in your hands if
you can even open it what with the frail stitching and all.  it still
sure beats those old wax tablets and scrolls tho.

3.  i always just install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package and then
forget about playback problems because i simply don't have them.  oh, a
trip to medibuntu might be in order too for those pesky non-free w32codecs.
