Cutscenes audio/video format shift?

[tamlin-mike]

Regarding cutscenes ACM/MVE, a comment HN stated "FFMPEG seems to support these formats".

Should that turn out incorrect or less feasible, to keep any transcoding as portable as possible perhaps theora+vorbis would be the best/most portable/futureproof/unencumbered?

Just an idea.

I initially wanted to push for theoradec to maintain compatibility with Ryan Gordon's port, but that will leave out people who own older Descent 3 versions like the CDs and the Loki x86 port. I think it's best to avoid asking people to purchase the game again in order to access game assets--and those who own Descent 3 on GOG/Steam are able to access mve assets as well as ogv assets. Ryan recently commented on the collab effort, by the way. #2 expands on potential avenues.
