You can say that again.

to solve 2. i would simply always assume top down raw in avienc.c


I wasn't sure what the approach people would prefer regarding whether to
push knowledge of the orientation of the frames from avidec to rawdec or
move handling of the frame data for this case into avidec.  Which is why I
cooked up the flag instead since it seemed to be the smallest change.

I'll give your suggestions a shot and try to post a patch for it.
