It's not the playback ability which is the problem with codec packs... it's the ability to remove the damn things which is a problem.ChronoWraith wrote:I resent that. not all codec packs are evil. I have had no problems with Nimo, just as long as you get the stable build and not the experimental one it works fine.
The amvapp is just a collection of the actual installer for the individual codecs contained. While not a playback application I find this a much safer way of doing things than to make some contrived installer that does all the adding and removing itself.
I still would prefer people to just install their own codecs individually. There are very few that you actually need and it's good to know what you have installed and what they do.
