  Windows 7 to support third-party codecs… like all other Windows versions
Time: 11:15 EST/16:15 GMT | News Source: Within Windows | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Rafael Rivera: In a typical inaccuracy-laden FUD-like fashion, Gizmodo ran a story on March 26th regurgitating some rumblings from Damien Bain-Thouverez, a ffdshow (Tryout fork) developer, indicating that Windows 7 may block the use of third-party codecs (those small voodoo pieces of software that let you watch your illegally downloaded Bluray rips).

Damien indicated this “blocking” behavior occurs in Windows 7 build 7057. I’ve tested and confirmed the behavior still exists, in 7068, but it’s obviously broken (or working this way for a specific, temporary reason). I’m sure when Microsoft flips the non-beta switch, they will support third-party codecs as they have since… Windows 3?
