If vlc cant open it you have found something truly odd

I honestly can't remember the last time I couldn't open a video file.

I'm working in live video and there's a lot of proprietary codecs out there that vlc doesn't play by default. Most of those are lossless/very high bitrate lossy formats designed to be encoded and decoded quickly for things like instant replays, so not something the average consumer would get their hands on.
