[MPlayer-users] Codec support request for EV/EV2 videos

[Arpi]

Hi,

read codecs.html about what do we need for new codec support.
especially we need the extracted DLLs from windows player and some info from
registry. don't expect us to install windows, install the player and do it,
we won't ever install windoze.
