Removals and integrations in "Multimedia" section

[Solarium]

Hi guys!

I'm always dealing with nLite for my WINXP installation disc and I have some doubts on the multimedia components.
Many people suggest to remove all (or almost all) the components in black in this section, leaving only the red ones (very few, just 4 to be precise). Here is the list:

Acm Core Codecs
Active X for Streaming Video
AOL ART Image Format Support
DirectX
DirectX Diagnostics Tool
Images and Backgrounds
Intel Indeo Codecs
Luna Theme
Media Center
MIDI Audio Support
Mouse Cursors
Movie Maker
Music Samples
Old CD Player and Sound Recorder
OpenGL Support
Speech Support
Tablet PC
Windows Media Player
Windows Media Player 6.4
Windows Picture and Fax Viewer
Windows Sounds

I was thinking of leaving Acm Core Codecs, Direct X, Images and Backgrounds, Intel Indeo Codecs, Media Center, MIDI audio support, OpenGL support, Tablet PC, WMP (using the last WMP add-on, do I need to keep both WMP and WMP 6.4?), WPFV and Windows Sounds. Would you add something else to this list? Or would you even remove 1 or more components from this short list? Why?

I intend to remove, within others, Active X for streaming video and AOL ART Image Format Support but I actually don't know whether they can be really necessary nowadays. What do you think?

I was then wondering whether there's an add-on that could replace "Movie Maker". Any suggestions?

Finally, are there 1 or more codec packs outhere? What about K-Lite codec pack add-on? Can it replace 1 or more components in the multimedia section? Please suggest any useful add-on regarding codecs and related stuff.

+ Keep it:



"DirectX and OpenGL" - Without "DirectX and OpenGL" that's not will be same OS.



-----



+ For 32bit OS will be Useful,For 64bit OS can be Remove anyway as 32bit Addition only:



Windows Picture and Fax Viewer [shimgvw.dll]



-----



+ For Minimalism Useless:



* Windows Sounds [Without Sound better]



* DirectX Diagnostics Tool [if be have's a Advanced Diagnostics as AIDA or Everest: Fine.]



-----



+ Useless for Now,but Can be keep:



* WMP:



Windows Media Player
Windows Media Player 6.4



1. Other:



Acm Core Codecs



2. For IE Browser: [If be Browser will be remove can be Remove this too...]



Active X for Streaming Video



Information: If you want to play with Multi-format: VLC or SMPlayer can be work better. [WebM: Can be play on to Web Browser - eg. Google Chrome 49/Firefox]



* Media Center



Information: If be doesn't have a "Media Center Edition" Remove if be shown as "Home/Pro"



* Movie Maker



Information: Good for Amateurs but That's can be replace with Better "Non-linears editors"



* Speech Support



Information: Sample textor and One-Popular Narrator. Depend. but If be will minimalist: Remove.



-----



+ Aboslutely useless:



AOL ART Image Format Support - "WebP" does better for Now than This. Useless even of Normal workouts.



Images and Backgrounds - Only "Idylla" will be keeped,Wallpapers can be place on to "Windows/Web/Wallpaper" Simple. Go Ahead - That's safe.



Intel Indeo Codecs - Some Renders as "VirtualDub" Viewed useless codec. Absolutely useless.



Luna Theme - Aboslutely bored theme. If be uxtheme will be unlocked can be replace with Better theme than this.



Mouse Cursors - "Standard > milionsfraudsspamspixels"



Music Samples - "Crash of "Player Car" from "City Connection" [NES,Mini game] > Useless music as a this example"



Tablet PC - Doesn't be changed. Go ahead.



Old CD Player and Sound Recorder - Audacity can be does better.

Been away for a few months... but now I'm back!

Thanks for your precious suggestions! I'm trying to go ahead with my personal installation disc, but with less and less time available...
