hehe, just like mine :)

not yet, i want to finish cleanup of demuxer and codec part, and commit
for more testing. i didn't yet checked the format stuff, anyway it shouldn't
be too hard to trace down ;)

> Can it play rv20 files?
i didn't try yet (the code is a real mess now, much more than in your patch
:) i've added thousand lines of messy debug code over all, i should collect
the main things and remova all others. i've just finished the demux_real.c
stuff, but it doesn't work (reads mor ethan packet size), now starting to
find why. i bet it's a typo somewhere :)

i've done 2 ways. first i made a wrapper, just like your drv3.c, to debug
in/out data structures of the codec .dll. it's a real mess, looks like the
rm custommessage stuff but more params and about 300 different calls... :(

then i started to use their wrapper .dll from the qt5 sdk. it's a wrapper,
transforming hundreds of functions (like ImageDecodeBand(x,y,z) to their
lowlevel gate function calls (like theQtDispatcher(function codes and params
in registers)). i've started to code some very simple program using winelib
(avifile's dll loader crashes, needs some new function to work well with qt
dlls) which opens a codec, and decode frames. but i get error code at codec
opening, the init param structure is not accepted :(
i gave it up then, i had no more time and patience :(

> I am willing to look at sorenson and that other proprietary
great! it seems you're very good in such 'debugging' work :)
so we together may can get it to work!

mp3pro? wma/divxaudio? or the qt one?

alex done some work on getting winamp audio codec plugins to work, for
mp3pro and some other closed formats support, but didn't finish yet.
