Couple things -
Please don't top post in emails. It's not proper. see

As to your issue, some things cannot legally be distributed because of
sketchy copyright law, patent issues etc. Packaged w32codec packs are
one of these and the legal issues aren't worth the risk of
distributing them. However dag has made it very easy to build the
package yourself, or you can just get them and put them in place by
hand. I have never heard of greysectors.net, and cannot speak to the
quality of their packages, but dag is quite good, and is involved in
the centos community.
