it should be safe, but its' known that some windows players crashes/dislike
mencoder/s cbr mp3 avis, dunno why, i don't have windows to test/fix...

> 2. vbr/abr mp3. is that safe? is the final avi playable on windows?
it's a hack, but works with any decent windows players, including wmp
some old win32 video editing tools dislike it
dunno about osx etc

> 3. vorbis audio ( in an avi) ... does it work? is that correct?
dunno, tehre are several variants, the first mode never worked,
but i've seen other samples that works more-or-less, but i'm pretty sure
it's a big messy nasty hack and only mplayer and windows players supporting
the dshow ogg filter can play that
