is there any?
a friend of mine got one in a bonus cd from chip magazine... I wonder if there're any available for download?
I don't really like installing programs when the purpose of that program can be achieved with another program, so if there're any free dvd codec for mediaplayer 9 then I'm gonna uninstall my current dvd player (power dvd)
