"is that tips & tricks for AAS 1.1? If so, that explains why i've never seen
it."
Sounds like you've got an earlier version of AAStudio? If so, the update is
free. Call 800/538-6401.
"Also, pardon my ignorance but with these common codecs, how do I know what
files are required when I distribute them?"
Video for Windows is where the 2 Microsoft, and Cinepak and Indeo codecs come
from. If you get the runtime version of Video for Windows (they're at version
1.1e right now) you should have all those codecs. Should be available on
CompuServe. By the way, Win95 apparently includes Video for Windows, so users
should be able to play AVI files compressed with any of those four codecs.
So, Microsoft RLE comes with Video for Windows. AAStudio includes Video for
Windows. AAStudio's player will install Video for Windows as well as a few
Autodesk codecs.
