One trick I found, which I was surprised at, was that you seem to be able to 
'cat' several mpeg files together into one and a player will happily play the 
entirety of the subsequent file. Weird; I mean most formats expect a single 
header and some data, but mpeg seems to be able to cope just fine with lots of 
header and data segments.
