Installing Medibuntu in Kubuntu Hardy
Medibuntu (Multimedia, Entertainment & Distractions In Ubuntu) is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons (copyright, license, patent, etc). I have used medibuntu in my Kubuntu primarily for video editing. Yes for editing, remember the first video I created using Kino DV? At first, the .ogg file generated by Krecordmydesktop isn’t being recognized by Kino and the only resolution is to add medibuntu. There were several options on how to download it via terminal but for some reason I opted not to use it, I just want it to be as point and click as possible.
Installing Medibuntu in Kubuntu Hardy Heron is easy. We don’t neet the terminal to download all the necessary packages.
