Installed fine, playing WMA and WMV files as well as XVID etc encoded avi files without a hitch.

Also extracting from RAR archives without any issues at all.

I like this!

There's also Automatix, which has a lot more things included. But I think they're both only for 5.10. For the new dapper beta you might want to try bumps, which is only fonts, java and media codecs.

It's pretty easy to install these things without this program. The only thing I can't do right now (from that list) is play realplayer files (which I don't care about).
