I believe there is newer version of the codec pack out. Also the PKGBUILD no longer works as the archive is just called win32codecs.tar.bz2 now.

This may make versioning difficult as well, and there doesn't seem to be any easy way to tell when it's been updated. I just know that I was having some problems with some video files, I downloaded the latest pack, which *was* different, and the files worked. :)

A major note on this pkg..

I've played with it in the past.. and one of the reasons this pkg will not is it is stripped and the binary windows dlls break if stripped as an linux binary.

Anyhow.. I am going to rework this pkg entirely.. add a few codecs to it etc etc..
