Download or install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra deb package (version should be close to Opera's chromium version)

# This version can be extracted like this for example
strings /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/opera | grep -e 'Chrome/.\+'

Extract package or find out where its files got installed

Either:

cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra.list

Or:

dpkg -x <package> <dir>
