Adding Codecs
 

Hi!!
I am linux noob and i am using Fedora Core 8....
I want to Play Movies,Dvd's listen songs in mp3 ,ogg and many other format...for which i need codecs in Windows i used Windows Player Classic.....but what shall i use on linux with bunddle of codecs which can play any thing

Add this repository, if you haven't already: http://rpm.livna.org/rlowiki/

Grab the gstreamer-plugins-* packages, libdvdcss and libdvdplay. That should allow totem and rhythmbox to play most formats and allow you to play protected DVD's.

Thanx i will do it

I have a Fedora DVD.How can i install packages from the DVD....There are too many Packages how do i install them

I don't think the packages you need are on the standard Fedora DVD. As elliot 678 said, you need to install the livna repository and install the packages from the internet.
If you are just asking generally how to install packages from the DVD:

But you'd be better off using the internet where the latest versions of the programs are.

I can not it keeps giving me error
