 Win32 codecs?
-Yes, we are using Win32 (Video for Windows) codecs for AVI/ASF decoding.
-They must be installed to the /usr/lib/win32/ directory, with all lower case.
-You can grab the codecs package from our homepage, or can be found in your
-C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ dir, see codecs.c for filenames.
-Some people asked why don't we use ActiveMovie/DirectShow codecs. The reason is
-simple: we'd have to emulate the whole DirectX architecture and implement the
-(patented!) COM interface to be able to use them. BTW the old VfW DivX codec
-is faster than the new .AX version, but it has no quality/CPU setting
-option (this is an improper name, since it doesn't affect the decoder. If
-it's set to 1 or higher, it applies a filter which decreases blockiness and
-eats away CPU cycles).
