added codec installation instructions

Enhasa: added pic because pics are pretty

2009-01-11T22:10:41Z

added pic because pics are pretty

Enhasa: needs to be zip instead of rar

2009-01-11T22:05:50Z

needs to be zip instead of rar

Enhasa: added actual info, lol

2009-01-11T22:02:10Z

added actual info, lol

Enhasa: created page that is kinda useless, oh well

2008-08-05T02:49:03Z

created page that is kinda useless, oh well

New page

I'm too lazy to compile the info so I'm just going to link to the thread. ;) Might get out of date, who knows, but there's some good general info anyway.

	Areas of concern in capturing are processor speed and hard drive speed.
