Quoting the review below of that it doesn't work yet he gives 10/10!

There are problems with it, but will be fixed. Compatibilities will be broken as a matter of course.

Developers need to recomplile 164 r3179 64-bit. It doesn't work and seems incomplete since its only 3 MB.

See this codec being around for years yet! Makes sense improving this as other modern ones are far too slow for typical home user and only appropriate for a commercial setting or streaming companies.
