I'm all for it, assuming we can keep the current level of abstraction and not 
clutter the public APIs with intricate details of the movie codecs.  For 
example, we already have the concept of "subimages" -- many of the formats can 
handle more than one image per file.    Do you think it would be sufficient to 
just use this concept, that is, make a the frames of a movie file simply appear 
to be the different subimages?  I think it could all be made to work.  Let's 
pick one format and write a reader for it, and see how far we get.
