Why? What is the meaning of this? I think this format should be used primary
by ourselfs (eg I can record into this format from my TV card with mencoder,
or maybe I reencode some 'too large' ugly AVI file etc). I think it's not
usefull for us to be used by the whole world. Or at least personally I don't
want to do this, probably the theory behind this: "use it if it's well suited
for you, or ignore it".

BTW, the other side: I'm SURE that some win$ coder will write windows stuffs
for the format ... :) So, no prob.
