Yep, I did that with a YouTube video once when my curiosity was stronger than 
my dislike for unfree formats. ;-)

The sound ended up being completely out-of-sync with the pictures. While there 
was a command-line switch for this, that's just what I mean by "more 
difficult". It probably isn't impossible, although I never tried to convert 
RealVideo (is that possible at all?), or Windows Media (???) or other dubious 
formats. I can temporarily live with a free implementation of a patented 
format, but I won't run a Windows codec DLL within mplayer or whatever the 
state of the art is in this area.
