probably not, since that would not be conform to AVI specification and not be 
playable by MS Mediaplayer. But it's a detail, not so important for now.

If you can provide me with a sample, I can try and take a look.

I see. Well, to be true, I am amazed by how well things were working anyway 
;-) I want to do the memory management right in the first place. Hence, I 
paid much attention to the mem.management of frames and buffers, but the 
render tree and more so the management of properties is not yet organized in 
a elegant way. So there are very likely to be many leaks.

Thet leave it. It's not important for me at the moment.
