Ok, so this mail is now also going to ffmpeg-user, and hopefully followups
will only be there.

I don't need to upload the files, I just have to say where I got them :)

<http://downloads.oreilly.com/make/MAKE_2005-07-18.m4b> has JPEG images, and
works in mplayer. 

<http://downloads.oreilly.com/make/MAKE_2005-08-01.m4b> (and all the others
from the RSS feed I linked above) has TIFF images, and the pictures aren't
displayed (audio works).
