Right. That makes sense.

I would, however, consider it preferable - and, I think, reasonable -
for the user to have the option to choose to do it "correctly" (i.e.,
with headers as stored in stream headers and chunks interleaved
throughout the file) instead of "in the way which is supported by Media
Player Classic"; I understand that you do not necessarily have the time
to spend on random subprojects, but what are the chances that you might
add something like this to AVI-Mux GUI?
