0x503DE880 = 1346234496 ~= (1.254 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024) so it tries to 
look to end of file (probably for that damn header)
Does it mean i have to download whole movie only to see if i can recode 
it with mencoder? :-/
At least i know i can't put MOVs on DAT tapes and expect to play them 
directly thru the pipe as i do with MPGs and AVIs ;-)
