You're right. I stumbled over two anims made with the sorenson codec.
However, most of the anims should work as the producers want the people to
watch them and they can't always rely on people having the latest plugins.
Unfortunately XANIM is no longer developed (I heard, got no Linux) and a
successor uses different ways not supported by SoftCinema). I'll try to
convince its author to make it a plugin for Voyager. Hope it's not too
hard.
