When installing Ubuntu there is a option to install some mp3 codecs, does it also install other codecs?

  • What is the question? How to install other codecs, or which codecs are installed by default?

  • The codecs that are not restricted are installed. I do not have a full list. But you can install restricted one from Ubuntu repositories.

The preferred list is:

Ogg Vorbis, Ogg Theora, WebM

To print a list of all installed codecs use

dpkg --get-selections  | awk '{print $1}' | grep -iR codec; export number=`dpkg --get-selections  | awk '{print $1}' | grep -iR codec | wc -l`; echo; echo "$number codecs installed."; echo
