/**
   \defgroup codec_registry Codec registry
   \brief Informations about installed codecs

   One of the goals when forking libquicktime was to have a modular structure.
   Codecs were moved to plugins and were compiled according to the dependencies
   found by the configure script. As a result, a mechanism became necessary for
   finding informations about available codecs at runtime, their properties, supported
   parameters etc.

   The codec parameters are defined in a way that GUI configuration dialogs can be
   built at runtime. An example for this is the libquicktime_config utility.

   Libquicktime saves data of the codecs in the file .libquicktime_codecs in your
   home directory. This saves the long time needed for opening each codec module
   to see what's inside. The codec registry can be configured with the libquicktime_config
   program.
