I cannot find that information in the original e-mail. He is very
general and even writes:

In the second e-mail he writes:

which sounds like an experiment, not a desired format.

But indeed, with MOV, the named FourCCs are used, and while my mplayer
*can* play then, VLC refuses to. And those FourCCs are not listed here:

(while I would probably need to look into the official Quicktime file
format documentation, where I can right now only find pixel format
FourCCs).
