I am against.

If we are going to use 32bit fields. If we are going to use this for
compatibility.
Then I say to use the AVI fourcc and don't mind to make our own
incompatible with everything fourcc table.

However I really would NOT like to criple nut in such horribly ugly hackish way.
Especally when everything else in nut is variable size...


P.S.
Please don't try to change things in thread with name "freeze".. its
just the opposite.
