OK, may be I just just don't understand the reason why -fixed-vo was 
implemented... May I ask anybody explain that?

Now, what would you think if I say that if someone starts playing a 
series of files, that may be considered as playing one movie. So, 
keeping VO is most obvious behavior.

What is the main difference between using -fixed-vo and not using it?
