ijpg should work, but it cannot decode mjpeg, just jpeg images.
in long term we should fix ffmpeg's mjpeg decoder, it's quite buggy :(

xanim codecs are good, but they have some problem, if i try to play 2 indeo
files it will sig11 in the second. soemhow teh codec (un)initialization
broken or dunno, but it works only wiht single files.

what about opensource native codecs? cvid, msvideo1 etc ?
they are even better than xanim ones

also mjpeg and h263 codecs is nice topic...
there are a lot of them (both win32 and native), but none of them are perfect :(
