	As you know, I would like to see as many open source decoders as
possible, and I have alternative processors to test on, as well (that
reminds me, I still need to validate MSVC and FLI on PPC). I'd like to see
what I can do with incorporating VP3 support into the codebase natively
(after perfectly FLI support, naturally...:). Are there any good
repositories for VP3 media? The only samples I can find are the test VP3
on VP3.com, which uses the 'VP30' fourcc, and the sample on the MPlayer
FTP (and I'm not downloaded a 76MB file of a terrible movie).
