"Nullsoft video"? Why are they calling it that? Do you have a URL? (I
didn't see anything on www.winamp.com, and forums.winamp.com seems
dead.)

In any case, as I mentioned in another mail a few days ago, somebody was
working on VP3/Theora support for libavcodec (and, hence, mplayer), but
there hasn't been any traffic on the matter in a long while. Nobody else
added to that, so I suppose that's the best anyone knows at this point.

If you're strongly curious, then read the archives of the ffmpeg-devel
mailing list:
