Ok that makes sense.  Players aren't "used" to seeing qtrle in avi's
so don't accomodate for them, which is ok for now (and agree about the
warning).
As a note, not even ffmpeg/mplayer plays these avi's back right, but
if they're mov's they do splendidly.
And no I haven't run into any "in the wild" except the ones I
accidentally created.
Thanks!
