Well, using undvd stripped out an 86MB .avi file, which I've uploaded to the 
Web site. The sound came out just fine in ogg, but I haven't got a usable 
mp3 out of it yet.

Is there a way to stream an avi file through a browser? Just clicking on it 
in Firefox causes it to be downloaded first, which might well put people 
off when it takes so long.
