maybe from photo cameras, but not DV or HDV

well, my basic list includes:
DV
HDV
DVD
Web Video including:
   AVC/AAC MP4
   Ogg Theora/Vorbis
   MPEG-4/MP3 AVI
   Flash Video

then, another has their basic list that includes VCD and MJPEG AVI.

JB, something somebody else raised and we need to think of is the =20
role of the project vs. export profiles. Currently, all it really =20
does is guide the preview, and the export can specify a separate =20
profile. However, we need to also think about the future ability to =20
background render and the pass-through capability (to allow smart =20
rendering). In that case, we need to know something more like today's =20=

export profile that includes codecs and muxed format. Can we just =20
have one place to make the choice and if the choice changes flush all =20=

renderings?
