Are there any well supported open source codecs that are badly supported
for Windows?  The anarchist in me wants to put some files like that on
my website to redress the balance.

How is KDE suppose to find codecs when we don't even ship the long list of
patent encumbered codecs?

Enable RPMFusion and a list of codecs (from Fedy) I install on my system
can be found at https://github.com/donniezazen/fedora#media-codecs.

This is a new install of Fedora 20.

When I open a Video file with Dragon player or VLC they will play 
Audio but no Video, black screen.


Is there a possibility that I don't have a certain RPM installed ?


I see another possibility: you don't have the proper codecs installed 
for the video you want to play. I would have expected another part of 
KDE to find the codecs automatically from your enabled repos. I've 
installed lots of codecs just that way, so that Dragon is more versatile 
than ever for me.
