Re: AVI codec - Windows Media



Thanks for the information. I guess then what I am looking for is a better
codec than what's available in Quicktime Pro for exporting to
AVI(cinepack/BMP/several DV, DVPro), like the Sorenson Windows Media codec
- as somebody said that will produce smaller files.

Are there freely available add-on codecs for use with quicktime for this
purpose ?

The WMV codecs you mentioned below could do the job as well (if avi is not
essential, which I don't know at this point) - are there free alternatives
to those ?

Thanks,
Sandhitsu Das
