1-Click install seems to be a good idea and helps in these instances but you still need to know where to look to find this package to begin with. I just like the fact that it's built into the ubuntu menu system.


The 1-click install is available from the opensuse-community.org website, which will be a vast improvement over the process with previous versions.

Novell is, unfortunately in this case, a US-based organization and can't run the risk of making themselves a legal target by facilitating the circumvention of patented media restrictions, so it is not likely that they will ever be able to include a "click here for codecs" button. As long as they continue to look the other way while the community works at arm's length to facilitate this themselves (hence the creation of the opensuse-community.org site), then new users will not have to struggle to deal with this, despite the lack of a built-in option.

It's not perfect, just a hell of an improvement. ;)
