#FLI : What does it mean
8 messages in this thread
I' looking for the exact meaning of F.L.I. or F.L.C. A.V.I …. ?
Does anyone knows it ?
Of course, I know what it is but not the meaning.

I'd like to help, but I'm not sure of your question.
For instance, are you asking if AVI stands for something (Audio Visual
Interleave) or are you asking code info? (There is FLIC.ZIP, for instance,
describing the Flic format.)

Complete system as described by Jim Kent in his article on the Flic file
format
in the March 93 issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal. This includes Listing One and
Listing Two referred to in the article. Flic files are a sequence of still
frames
which can be flipped through to achieve the illusion of movement. Uploaded by

The extensions .FLI and .FLC are not acronyms. The .FLI extension was developed
with the original Autodesk Animator, and is simply short for "flic" (which is
another way of saying "flick" or "movie"). When Animator Pro was developed, and
the flic format was changed to become resolution-independant, the extension for
the new format was also changed to .FLC so you could distinguish one format
from the other. (.FLC also stands for "flic.")
I have no idea what AVI stands for.

Thank you Jack, you answer to the question. I really thoght it was an acronym.
But now I know what AVI mean :
Audio Video Interleaved

Ah, "Audio Video Interleaved." Typical techno-babble acronym. <g> By

OH! I'm sorry. That's Southern Ol' Boys Network.
That's the trouble with acronymns. <g>

To my knowledge:
AVI = audio visual interleave
FLI = "FLIc" (no anacronym)
FLC = "FLiC" (no anacronym)
Of course you realize this could really be confusing when you think of
PIC = "PICture"
