For video yes (for MPEG4, not for RealVideo) because the bitstreams are
still packed (the whole B frame mess...). Once we implement (both in the
muxing apps and all the relevant demuxers) proper B frame handling and
proper MPEG4 storage (similar to MP4) V_MS/* won't be used for that
anymore.

Until then we'll stick to that compromise.
