Je ne sais pas comment fait mandriva mais il y a des implémentations non libres et souvent payantes des codecs (voir Fluendo par exemple) qui sont légales.
The Fluendo Web Shop, launched earlier this month, offers playback components for the MP3, Dolby AC3, and Windows Media Audio (WMA) audio formats; the MPEG2, MPEG4 Part 2 (better known as DivX), and Windows Media Video (WMV) video formats; the Windows Media streaming protocol (MMS); and the various container formats associated with each. The MP3 decoder is free of charge, the other single-format decoders are €7 apiece, and multi-format bundles are available at discount rates. All are plugins for the open source GStreamer media framework that powers players such as Rhythmbox, Amarok, Totem, and many more.

"if you purchase the "Megabundle" containing all the plugins, you get free copies of all new decoders added to the bundle ***spam*** the coming year. Schaller has hinted that AAC, H.264, and Real Media decoders are coming, but he has not fixed a timetable"
"DVD playback support, which is noticeably absent from Fluendo's current offerings, is planned for the future"
Qu'en est-il des implémentations dites libres ? je ne le sais.
A noter que la prochaine Ubuntu (7.04 "feisty") ne livre pas ces codecs dits libres par défaut mais les installe automatiquement (et hypocritement)
via internet dès qu'un fichier de la sorte est lu...
