Is anybody particularly fond of http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/containers.html http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/video-formats.html http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/audio-formats.html ? I think I will rip out the whole container section, it provides little or no value in the user's manual... Diego
