Comment 16 for bug 125835

I've been trying to work around this bug / issue I understand it's a licensing issue with the AMR codec there's more info here: http://66.102.9.104/search?q=cache:Yc48HTudC_cJ:www.penguin.cz/~utx/amr+penguin.cz&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2&gl=uk&client=firefox-a but unfortunately the actual penguin.cz site (and the build script for the amr code seems to be down :-( )

There's also a thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=178455 and a fairly useful walk through here: http://www.thisismobility.com/blog/?p=156 although I've been getting stuck on how to bring the AMR codec and FFMPEG together in compilation.

Some people have said that I should just install realplayer and be done with it but the point is really that I don't want my machine littered with different media players and have to know that I need different ones for different files I just want one that just works ;-)

I can't find it again now but there is a SOC project on AMR and there's also a guide here with a link to the AMR codec from the phenomenally awfull 3gp website here: http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/ext/amrwb/README?view=markup&revision=1.1

Hope this gives someone with the appropriate wisdom the tools to make this happen by default in ubuntu (or perhaps a simple to use medibuntu package?)

Cheers
