Restricted Formats/10.3

From openSUSE-Community

In openSUSE 10.3 all our codec handling will be done using One-Click-Install. This provides a simple wizard to guide you through everything, and you have to install absolutely nothing extra to be good to go!

[edit] Restricted Multimedia Formats (MP3, MPEG-4, etc.)

Note: Different copyright and patent laws apply differently depending on what country you are in; if you are unsure about a particular restriction or patent, you might consider applying for legal advice. This site does not offer legal advice. For more information about why some formats/codecs are restricted and why they don't ship out-of-the-box on openSUSE, read Restricted Formats.
