Maybe some one want to modify, improve DUGL Player. Or just want binaries of the lib ogg/theora library that I have compiled for another usage.

Any way, my previous support of mpeg1/2 was a bit ridiculous as user have to use an external exe to split the mpeg file into video and audio ! Trying to add my self demuxing I found that i have to understand the low-level binary format of a mpeg file !

BTW I have a question about ffmpeg2theora ! even if i use the "-v 10" for best quality I never get the same quality as the input file :( and the output file is also bigger than the original. Is this a limitation of theora/ogg format or a limitation of the ffmpeg2theora ?
