no, but you could explain the precise steps you would take to avoid the win32 codecs without spending most of a day on the problem :) for bonus marks, cover all likely eventualities :))

You misunderstand. I'm not saying you're stupid for suggesting using the win32 codecs (if that's what you have to do to play the damn things, that's what you have to do, it's hardly your fault). I'm saying Lionstracs is stupid for requiring you to do so. Especially since they sell Linux-running products, and have taken so much from the free software world.
It's not a big deal, and I'm certainly not implying the company is "evil" or whatever, but still. I figured it was worth mentioning.
I couldn't agree more about 'the industry' screwing the users over huge in this department. Can't we just make proprietary file formats flat out illegal already? :) What a beautiful day that would be...
