Roger's very hard on the venerable AVI format. It is constantly used as
an editing format and encoding source. WMV is not handy for either.
There are many useful codecs available within AVI. We capture to YUY2
and use HuffYUV before moving files around. We also use the WM9 codec
within AVI to FTP source files to other encoders.
The answer to the question has already been given. QuickTime will only
read and export RGB24 AVI, resulting in huge files. VirtualDub, on a
PC, will export those files using any available AVI codec.
At any rate, MPEG-1 seems like the best bet for this application.
