Yes, you are correct.

Thank you for testing.

This was not something I fixed, I was just curious 
if the files play: I am not sure if it was ever 
tested (likely not).
(And this of course makes me wonder if my question 
above was maybe unclear: Was it unclear and you 
just wanted to confirm that your two files that 
you uploaded for me and other files that you have 
play fine with FFplay but didn't before?)

This may be a misunderstanding:
My fix allows you to play r10k files (with small 
"r") on Linux (and Windows) with FFmpeg (and 
MPlayer and vlc).

Yes, this is correct.

This format is not supported by FFmpeg: You can 
only write R10k (with capital "R").
