The AVI option of the 'Export' Panel allows you to control the generation of the .avi file for the Export AVI commands.

AVI export automatically rounds up the width to the closest number divisible by four. This is required for most types of compression.
Use Movie size
Check this option if you want to use the Movie size for the exported .avi file. The default setting is to have this option turned on.
Width
Sets the width of the exported .avi file. This value will be neglected if you choose to use Movie size.
Height
Sets the height of the exported .avi file. This value will be neglected if you choose to use Movie size. Height will automatically be calculated from Width if you choose Lock Aspect Ratio.
Lock Aspect Ratio
Automatically calculates the width to maintain the aspect ratio of the exported .avi file.The default setting is to have this option turned on.
Setup Compression
Click this button to open up the 'Setup Compressor for AVI Export' dialog box to choose the available compression types and their attributes.

Compressor
Choose your desired compression type here. Different compression types will produce different .avi file quality and size. When choosing compression type, make sure the people who are going to view your .avi file also have that compression type available. The most common one is Cinepak Codec by Radius, which is selected by default. If this is not available, the default changes to Uncompressed.
Some compression types are not available for a certain color depth. If you can't find your desired compression type, try changing your screen color depth before clicking on this button.
Compression Quality
Set this value to adjust the image quality of your .avi file. The better the quality, the bigger the file size. The default setting is 50%. Some compression types do not let you adjust Compression Quality.
Key Frame
This sets how many frames appart the AVI exporter needs to set Keyframes. Smaller gaps between Keyframes will produce better, but bigger .avi files. Some compression types do not let you adjust Key Frame. The default setting is to have this option turned on with a Keyframe inserted every 15 Frames. Uncheck this to use a compression-type-specific default value for Data Rate.
Data Rate
This sets the Data Rate of your .avi file. Smaller values will produce smaller .avi files, but worse quality than higher values. Some compression types do not let you adjust Data Rate. The default setting is to have this option turned on with a Data Rate figure of 10 KB/sec. Uncheck this option to use a compression-type-specific default value for Data Rate.
Configure
Click this button to adjust a compression-type-specific setting. Different compression types will have different settings.
