It's amazing how often data gets corrupted when Windows machines are 
involved. This is no windows bashing, but empirical observations. On 
another note, it would be fabulous to have the same error tolerance as 
mpeg, I've been experimenting with corrupting random bits manually in 
videos to see how much mplayer can make out of it afterwards, and .avi 
doesn't like it as much as mpeg ;-)
