Hi,

> last update.  The Win32 codecs section will be changed into a more
> general codecs section, since the main use for Win32 codecs (WMV8 and
> WMA audio) is now covered by libavcodec.  So I'll describe installing

wmv8/wmv9/wma9 are not supported by lavc yet
indeo stuff isn't supported too (xanim || win32dlls)
 
> My first question is: Are Win32 codecs still necessary for a default

win32lite contains all the dlls (except qt & real) which are needed to
decode the formats not supported by libavcodec & the nativ mplayer
codecs
