codec support

[Mathieu Charron]

That good to know...I even got this:
http://code.google.com/soc/ffmpeg/appinfo.html?csaid=5AA777DB19E2BB24
so, Google is powering the new codec!

also, is there an H.264 codec?

and, what the w32codec have? mp3, wma, ...., support? I don't get the point
of having a "illegal" codec pack when free, and open source, version are
available. seriously?
