    I think Windows is confused by the FOURCC codes
that Linux tools write. Ideally, we should be able
to read our avi files with the codec packs from
Microsoft rather than getting something like ffdshow.

     Do any tools allow easy manipulation of the FOURCC
codes. Personally, I would like my files to be as widely
compatable as possible with as many devices as possible
without changing the target system much (if at all).
