Subject: Re: Single frame + audio in Real 5.0 Mac RV Encoder?
As I'm sure many people will respond, this can be done with SMIL... but now
you are out of the realm of the 5.0 player.
If you need to maintain the 5.0 compatibility, I'd simply embed the audio
file in a web page and place the logo above the controls on the page.
