Codecs! Codecs! And CODECS!

Don't we all wish there were something like k-lite media pack for Linux? Don't we? Tell me, don't we? Yes, we do. And actually there is something in that line. And it was created just for us by the community which created Mplayer. And above all, downloading and installing it is all child's play.

Follow the steps and you should be done in a few minutes.
1. Log in as root or use 'su' to check whether the directories /usr/local/lib/codecs and /usr/lib/win32 exists. If they don't, create them. (And please don't forget that Linux is case-sensitive. Double check the spelling.)
2. Download the .tar.bz2 file from http://tinyurl.com/lincodecs
3. Unpack the file using 'tar' command and copy and paste the unpacked files to the two directories.
4. You can now watch the porn videos you downloaded.

The file contains codecs to play mpeg and variants, DivX, Real Formats, Windows formats, Cinepak and Intel formats, Ogg formats and Quick time formats for audio and video playback.

But if you are still not satisfied and want something exactly like k-lite codec pack, then download it (Yes, it is available for Linux too. But saying that earlier would have killed all the fun.) from http://tinyurl.com/klitelinux. Download it tar file, unpack it and place the unpacked files in the two folders.

P.S. If the links fail for any reason, Google it. And while googling it, don't forget to thank Sergey Brin and Larry Page. And if you don't know who they are, just google them. :D
