Comment 3 for bug 340408

I installed Jaunty and started running through my multimedia files, knowing that I'd have to enable certain codecs to get them all to play. So far, so fine.

I have certain videos that were shot with a Nokia 6600 cell phone. Their extension is 3gp. These files played in previous versions of ubuntu (after adding appropriate codec support.) Now, when I try to play one, I get the "Search for a suitable plugin?" dialog. Choosing the Search button leads to a dialog which says:

Please select the packages for installation to provide the following plugins:
- Adaptive Multi Rate (AMR) decoder

After the search, it reports "No packages with the requested plugins found."

The video will then play silently.

I have these gstreamer plugins installed:

Again, I know that these files could be played in previous versions of ubuntu (after adding appropriate codec support.) How can I do this now?

I understand that this format has patent issues, and so the appropriate codec can't ship anywhere. Is it illegal to distribute a binary that will play this format from anywhere? If so, since source code may be distributed, can anyone point me at a mechanism/receipe for a source package that I can use that will not mess up anything else in 9.04?

Thanks
