i think that's not what he mentions...

after all, it's not hard to get the right file manually..

you start the reference-mov file, and pick the last reference
from mplayer's output.

but i also think this should be done automatically, or add
a -dontfollowreferences parameter to mplayer for not following
them automatically, or something like that.

thing loves them.  And after awhile you want to destroy whatever 
that thing is, so it can't hurt you no more.
