well automatix is dangerous, and everything it does is documented on the help wiki :) win32codecs isn't just a free/non-free issue, you're effectively pirating proprietary windows software. Even if you do have a legal Windows licence and have downloaded and accepted EULAs for all of the other software which provides those codecs, you still might not be legally entitled to use them in Ubuntu, but IANAL. FWIW, the excellent chaps at Fluendo now sell a licenced codec pack which includes most of the popular windowsy formats (although only for gstreamer, obviously).
