Most of this issue was fixed in [194], however it seems that it didn't fix MJPEG files on web pages (e.g. those on http://www.tht.net/~sbeach). The problem for that case is that Safari is having us import MJPEG AVIs even though we don't import them correctly, and say so in validation.

To fix this would involve either fixing our importing of MJPEG, which would involve extracting the Huffman tables and making the right ImageDescriptionExtension?, which isn't very easy from the last I looked at it, or getting Safari to use Apple's importer when we can't support the codec, or directly using Apple's importer ourselves instead of leaving it up to QuicktTime? to do that.
