What about printing a message, that it is known that this codec would
fail with hardframedropping. What if it exits without playing the file
if hardframedropping is on and this codec is selectet? Or that it takes
an other codec if hardframedropping is turned on. But that is just a
work around and I don't realy like a such solution.
