I'm sure TerraTec could if they tried. They use WDM, what do you expect?

My windows using friends get heaps.  Hey theres a new movie on the network!  Lets play "guess what random piece of shit codec some random fucking moron used to encode his movie with!"  And ooh wouldnt it be so nice if we could use a codec that could actually be found on the web in under a week?  It took me over a god damn hour of my life to get Bowling for Columbine to play on a friends Windows PC - video was bloody green for Gods sake.

Green video, I bet you need 3IVX

Actually I fixed it with xvid.  The point is that if it weren't for crap proprietary drivers I wouldn't have to go searching for a "fix."  Not to mention that half of the codecs conflict with the other half...

I know, that's why I removed all the divx crap and configured 3ivx to handle everything. I was going to install xvid but figured out I didn't need to.
Also there's a handy tool called Avicodec.
See this is more proof that M$ products suck - It's easy to get the codec info out of the file, yet MPlayer is no help at all, it searches the MS site for the codec, but doesn't bother to tell you the name of it.
