Thats basically true, 2 weeks to write the stuff using DirectShow, 2 
years to chase out the bloody bugs from it anytime you want to do 
something a little out of the ordinary like  fast forward.

Plus you never know if some of that DRM shit (pardon my french) will 
break your pretty little program when the next Windows security patch 
comes. Windows is not a platform for Open Source Video/Audio/P2P things 
anymore.
