Done. File are rpza.mov and rpza.txt (original filename was natb.mov)

I'm writing it. I hope to finish it tomorrow.

Yes, especially to find out which files need to be changed (all the 
condecs.conf and codec-cfg.h stuff). The only missing info is something 
about output format: which format must be supported by a codec? I had 
to dig it out from tech-eng.txt in the vo section, and i'm still not 
sure if BGR15 and BGR24/32 are both mandatory or if one format is 
enough to work with every vo device (sdl converts them, but x11 does 
not convert from BGR15 to BGR32)
