I gave it a try. Had three parts of an mpg. Joined them into one file and
tried playing it with Frogger. The message it displayed was
AllocBuffer:
EndOfFile reached.
No valid mpeg header found!
This might be due to how it was saved in Thor. When I download the files,
the first one gets moved to the deldir as I mentioned before. If I copy
this from deldir to ram and try to play it in Frogger it plays fine. But if I
save that same file from within Thor and try it I get the above message.
