Just out of curiosity I counted the files in the "essential" package of codecs, and those in the "win32codec" package, and in the combined set after eliminating duplicates. There are 68 in "essential", 126 in "win32codec", but only 127 total when duplicates are eliminated.So there is only one file in "essentials" that is not included in "win32codec". The latter collection is clearly the better choice. I have not yet figured out which file is the one added by "essential", that's a lot harder to do. -- The Moon is Waxing Gibbous (77% of Full) "Things are in the saddle, and they ride mankind."
