Why doesn't nut use twocc like in avi ? it's the most spread format. And it will avoid duplicating tables.
Unlike fourcc, they're not sane, in that: - they're not actually unique. conflicting ones have already been assigned by idiots. - non-uniqueness stems from having too small of a namespace for numerous parties to be able to individually assign ids and from the lack of any logical (e.g. human-language) correspondence between the numbers and the codecs. - how the hell is an ungoverned community supposed to arrive at consensus on a meaningless number? Quicktime and other formats already have fourcc for audio so it's best to just pull from there. Then the fourcc's can be shared just like with video. Rich
