I wrote this program because the capture board that I bought came bundled with Video for Windows and no DOS based grabbing program. With this converter I can dump a AVI file to TGA files and then create a .FLI from them or process the individual frames.

Joe, We have a package called the A/V Recorder that converts AVI to FLI and FLC directly. It costs $149.00 and is available directly from us or through some of the 3D Studio dealers. If you would like I can fax you info on the product. Jamie Carr in:sync (301) 831 5008 Fax (301) 983 9674

any information on how to avi to flc will be appreciated

It's not shareware, but does a great job… Video for Windows' VidEdit will open an AVI file and extract whole or any section of the file into sequential DIB files. Then use Animator Pro NumPic to Load Pics as Flic. If Anipro doesn't recognize the DIBs, you will have to use an image converter (like Image Alchemy/Hijack/etc) to make the DIBs into PCXs or GIFs or whatever.
