not all might be relevant enough. although the best option is to use ffmpeg for the codecs, I'm not sure the file muxers/demuxers will evolve enough to be used in the Media Kit, so we should maybe write our own file parsers... I wrote the (unfinished) current ffmpeg .mov demuxer. anyway I have specific plans on the Media Kit...
