    ml> this last paragraph is wrong for full and proper 5D BSO... what is

   There is no such thing as 4.5D BSO. This is exactly what 5D BSO is, nothing   
   wrong there. Just because some binkd developers decided that they have to   
   invent their own flavor doesn't make the original format less 5D.   
      
    ml> i've already posted a binkd FAQ Q&A about this as well as one of the binkd   
    ml> developers' comments on how proper 5D is done in binkd...   
      
   This wouldn't be the first developer that insists that their (flawed)   
   interpretation and implementation of a (de facto or FTSC) standard is perfect   
   and everyone else is wrong.
