does it worth? i've never seen any .vivo files, just heard that it was used
in old days, before .asf has born.

i can't hack codecs working, i'm not a win32 cracker.
current dll loader/emu code in mplayer is copied from the avifile project.

btw just checked readmedia page, and there is a downloadable SDK for
developers. i got it, and seems to be interesting, but it's C++.
maybe someone with c++ knowledge could try to develop something to get
linux realplayer's codecs work. for example, there is TRplayer, which
plays .ra audio under linux, using codecs plugins of realplayer.
(it's c++ too, but simple console app)
Gerard (ffmpeg) already wrote an .rm file demuxer, so if we have working
codecs, then everything is possible... anyone interested?

someone should upload a few vivo files, then we can check what fileformat
are they using (is it documented? is there any opensource vivo player sout
there?). afaik it uses the standard h263 codec, so it isn't problem, ffmpeg
codec can decode it.
