FYI, the sources for dvhtool are on their oss.sgi.com site in their cvsweb tree (http://oss.sgi.com/mips/cvsweb/dvhtool/). Doesn't look to hard to at least gleen information from. It would definitely be worth an email to see if it is, in fact, open source, especially since it's in their open source CVS repository... C
