Thanks once again. I have to generate movies for the following target
application:
http://www.neuro-bs.com/pres_docs/html/05_stimuli/03_visual_stimuli/03_video_stimuli/index.html
As you can see, since this is a specialized application for presentation
of neuropsychophysical stimulus, it doesn't (yet) support windows media.
And I don't know which AVI codecs it will support.
Right now I'm trying to encode my movies into MPEG1 using the ffmpeg
shareware tool.
Thanks,
Sandhitsu
