Hello, Does anyone know if there exists a "Video Animation" player for viewing AVI files. If one exists, is it public domain? Can you add sounds to it also ? Thanks Ed

Windows plays AVI files. If you dont have Video For Windows, look to Microsoft. VFW11.??? is available here somewhere, probably in WINMM. For sure its here on CIS, and its free. Now the challenge: make it work right. Bri

Ed, It exists, and since AVI is Audio and Video, sounds are built right in. What kind of computer do you have?

Ed, there is one. Check out Graphsupport Forum for animation payers. There should be the latest Video for Windows drivers. I'm sure you can also find them in MSLIB. -David

Hi Ed, Take a look in the libraries here. (Try a keyword search using "Video for Windows" or "Quicktime" or whatever format you want to play). I just DL'd Playit v. 1.51 the other day and it works fine as far as I can tell. I've also used Vidvue 3.1… it lets you capture frames from movies, among other things (like playing them also). Both are shareware. I havn't seen anything that lets you add sound to movies… doesn't mean there isn't anything. (Of course commercial packages like Premiere and Director can do this easily) Philip
