i doubt it's possible...
1, they already wrote some libs and apps using mcf,
2, they announce mcf with teh most importamt feature: using minimum bits for
   headers, and maximize data area - it's against 2-layer packetization
required for raw seeking and error-resistance. they don't address these
issues, insteda they use index, and save index twice on theyr mode-2 cd
format to "protect" it - it's silly imho, and won't work realiable
one of their developers already forked, he also didn't accept this silly
approach - maybe we should contact him. imho few MBytes for a 680MB movie
does worth error-resistance and solid seeking... but their optinion is:
don't waste bytes for useless headers...
