[Ubuntu-BD] r there any prob supply this oss codec with distro like ubuntu and other?

[tanjir]

He meant all the codecs which come from restricted repo are restricted format (isn't it obvious?). If you want to know more about restricted codecs:
If codecs (encoder/decoders) can encode/decode proprietary formats and patent issues are related, then most likely those codecs are restricted.
The ones you have mentioned: X264, LAME, XVid all of them can either encode or decode or both to or from proprietary formats (mp3, h264,h263, mpg and so on). I hope this answers your question!

Also Read following articles:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/
Note:
"Legal Notice Patent and copyright laws operate differently depending on which country you are in. Please obtain legal advice if you are unsure whether a particular patent or restriction applies to a media format you wish to use in your country."
Till now, we did not find any conflict, so you can use them for personal use.
