Sure.  My crystal ball tells me that fiendish aliens have been using
force fields to obstruct the flow of cosmic energies in Christian's
machine.  The fact that the aliens have decided to sabotage FFmpeg first
should give us all pause.  It is a rare compliment to receive but it
carries along a great responsibility.

Now everybody remember that the survival of the human race rests on our
shoulders.  If we are to remain victorious in this epic conflict we must
not succumb to darkness.  The pureness of our hearts is our most potent
defense.  We must preserve it at any cost.
