158696 2003-07-11 10:00:00 re - MVI_AVI - well tweak'e, that's very interesting - have downloaded that program, i wonder, could you elaborate on "codec"? and thanks for answering jayal (1291)
158697 2003-07-11 11:48:00 codec...basicly what the movie is encoded with.

avi is a container which houses the movie. the movie can be encoded by various codecs. comman ones include divx, xvid and a few microsoft ones.

there is also a few filters which are cable of playing multiable codecs.

run the prgram and it should give you an idea on what video and audio codecs are required.
