VLC Codecs as a Quicktime Component

Ok, mind you, the title of this post is not entirely true, I sort bend the information so it sounded more interesting, but nevertheless:

One thing which always bugged me under Mac OS X was that I needed to have 3 Mediaplayers installed in order to play all the kinds of videofiles which are available out there: Quicktime, Videolan(VLC) and Windows Media Player
Now, thanks to those kind people from Microsoft, Windows Media Player files can be played in quicktime via Flip4Mac. But one still needs VLC in order to play most of the other formats which Quicktime doesn't handle very well (I always have problems with Mpeg2 files in Quicktime).

And here's a solution to the above problem: FFusion is a version of the libavcodec library (that's the library which contains most of VLC's media support codecs) which has been compiled so it can be used as a Quicktime Component. This enables you to play even more Videofiles with Quicktime, no need to switch to VLC (although VLC is a really good software, it's just an added burden to start VLC after realizing that Quicktime once again couldn't play a file). And apart from that it makes all those Videos Frontrow compatible, too! (at least that's what I think, my Frontrow experiences are.. limited).

You can download the package at the official FFusion page. http://aldorandenet.free.fr/codecs/, however, those are a tad outdated, a newer version can be found on "Dr. Feelgood's" (couldn't find his real name) page: http://www.cs.pdx.edu/~feelgood/ (somewhere around the middle of the page)
