Don't forget it be should the movie framework for ALL. Think about computer
games and lot's of other out of movie playback applications ( as the
main focus is on something else ), that can't publish their code, using
MPlayer G2 for movie playback and what not. And to get back to the first
point it will never be widly accepted as an industrial standard if it excludes
half of the possible uses and users.
