In openSuSE for A/V codecs you need to add two extra repositories (packman & videolan [vlc]), is there an equivalent (mod or set) for Arch or do we just build from vlc?
# pacman -S codecs
None of the A/V apps in Arch (at least in extra repo) use the codecs so installing the codecs package might have no effect. Most popular video formats are handled well by ffmpeg. I would suggest to post back if you have problems playing a specific video format.
Don't mplayer and xine use these codecs still? Or is everything in the codecs package handled by ffmpeg nowadays?
