What's AVI files ?
Audio Video Interleave file.
AVI files are actually motion pictures combining audio sound & video
film sequeequence together. It gives you more than FLI or GL anima-
tions could bring. Let's make it short, AVI is actually Real Movie...
Download VFW11E.ZIP and upgrade your Windows 3.1x to be able to play
AVIs and dial in BBS: (818) 919-6285 to get all neat AVI collections.
Why AVI not MPG ?
MPG file is another Movie format getting popular recently, but it
requires hardware decoding process, which means you need to buy an
extra hardware card to play MPG Movies, and still deal with all kinds
of hardware IRQ, DMA conflicts......
AVI to MPG is somewhat like BMP to GIF, AVI will never die because
it's irrelevant to harware. And Now, they actually make harware card
to play AVIs better than MPG (like Movie 928 card). But anyhow, for
AVIs, you don't need to buy an extra hardware card to watch Movies
under Windows.
