Cool! While the inclusion of encoders/writers may or may no be worth 
discussing on a case by case basis, I guess any decoder/reader is very 
welcome! I have no idea if it would be better in the long run to include 
the library statically in the reader or not (self containment -> easier 
install, less chance for unexpected mess ups), but this is just a detail.

BTW. If you are now aquainted with readers/decoders in Haiku, are you 
interested in bringing our support for the Matroska (MKV) container up to 
date? And we desperately need *something* to decode h.264. :-)

Thanks a lot & Best regards,
