I don't know.
IMHO this script should and can download those m$ codecs which m$ media
player can. SO, the official ones: ms mpeg4 v2, v3, wmv 1, 2, indeo, cinepak
etc.
it won't download third-party codecs (supplied together with tv/in hardware
or video editing sw) nor the illegal stuff like divx, cracked mp3 codec etc

so, i see no much sense of using this script, downloading the win32 codec
package from mphq is much simpler and faster imho

this script was made for distributions disallow distributing win32 dlls
