well, as we still dont have volunteer for maintaining nut-id and no initial nut-id table either, I/IAA options are pretty dead anyway ivan do you volunteer to do the work? and can you make a table containing all 4cc of avi & mov with nice format & implementation names?
No problem. That's easy.
It is not easy and you'll have an even harder time getting anyone to adopt it.
I hope you don't want it with past date. It needs few hours work. Of course I'll do it only if the format_id is really going to be used.

I didn't go into any more detail because I already explained what I mean by this many times. Bloat means cost (in size, performance, or
Sorry my psychic powers are quite miserable lately and I cannot guess what do you mean. Obviously you should stop making claims and do more explanations.
complexity -- in this case mainly complexity) is disproportionately large compared to practical benefit (which is zero here, so the bloat ratio is infinite). Making up our own id system would be a classic case of NIH syndrome.
If there was 1 _single_ existing tag system that is fulfilling our requirements then there wouldn't be anything to argue about. So if there is no sane system we should at least _try_ to invent one. And I don't mean to take random bits from other tag system and stock them toggether, hoping they will stick.
