	If I were drinking milk right now, I guarantee I would be snorting
it through my nose...:) Yes, Duck really did exist, and is now [part of]
On2 technologies, who is now doing the VP3 codec. They first did Duck
Truemotion v1, which was used in Sega Saturn games. They also did the TM20
Truemotion v2.0 codec that MPlayer supports via Win32. They have had a few
other codecs that have been licensed out to other video game consoles.

	I was thinking along the same lines, since it appears that these 2
formats are always encoded with the same nBlockAlign size (512 and 2048
bytes respectively).
