I'd feel more comfortable if Quicktime (by which I assume you mean the Sorensen codec, since h.264 should be playable using other means) were verifiably implemented rather than just claimed to be. But I have to admit that the advent of flash video, as terrible as it is, has made it a lot easier to watch videos under Linux. > If not, wouldn't it be the moment to remove this problematic > package ? I'll echo other people and ask what exactly makes win32-codecs more problematic than, say, the Nvidia driver or the Flash plugin. I think the time to get rid of win32-codecs would be when people stop downloading it. It'll be a happy day when people can play these formats using just free software, but I'm really not confident that day is here.
