	Oh, I understand. The name of the codec is "Vorbis", "MPEG-4", etc. 
Codec "0x42" would never make sense. However, in the transport formats 
(AVI/MOV/Real/MPEG), they are identified by numbers. I hope you are not 
recommending they be identified with text strings? That seems like more 
string manipulation hassle than is warranted.
