That,

you should never have any problems installing a video codec, and if it all
goes wrong, it should only effect media made using the problem codec

- trust me, this is the best codec i have ever used, small file size, good

i know, so his web building skills are poor in the extreme :) but if you
trying to get your works accepted by the mass pc (windows) market, then
refering to your product as a 'pc version' is the norm (as its assumed
windows = pc, which 90% of the time it does)
