	Ah yes, I was just checking out this project today. I figured it
might help me understand a little about the PSX CD format. (Haven't devled
too deep yet.)

	I've been able to dig up the info for how to decode the movies and
it looks incredibly simple (simpler than MPEG and JPEG, but based on the
same principles). What I *need* in order to start the process is a sample
STR file. Would you be able to rip one, a small one, and upload it to the
MPlayer FTP for study?

	Thanks...
