Automatic Codes detection!

This is another super cool feature in Ubuntu Gutsy that just happened to occur today. I was trying to play a video file I had just downloaded and this message came up(click the picture to make it larger):


It asks if I want it to find the right codec so I could watch the movie! No more trying to Google around if you can't play certain media on your linux computer, because Gutsy does the looking for you and will install it easily for you.

Just use PCLinuxOS and you have everything already so it doesn't even need a 'super cool' applet. Ubuntu's still playing catch-up.

Linux Mint 3.1 already has them installed. It's based on Ubuntu Feisty, but is more useable and better looking.
