MPEG-PS in MOV 

vorbis in ogg in avi, the most braindead thing imaginable, vorbis due to
its variable number of samples _and_ bytes per packet is problematic in
avi, its possible to store but hackish, storing vorbis in ogg in avi has
no effect on the problem (obviously) as either you can or cannot correctly
store X in Y, a middle layer wont really help
