The avi video files come in various types. Go to my video zoo at
http://www.cwdjr.info/video_extreme/VideoZoo.php . You will find a
divx/avi among other file types. If you have a recent WMP the button
will take you to the video. Note I am using quite large high
resolution files, and you need a good broadband connection for viewing
the video in a reasonable time. If you do not get a player, read the
information concerning the item 13 on down the video zoo page. Note
that the code on the page for the avi uses a wvx playlist/redirector
file for the WMP that points to the .avi with the full url under item
13 near the bottom of the video zoo page.
I usually do not like to use an .avi on a web page, because it can be
difficult to impossible to make it stream unless you use a streaming
server. Also .avi files tend to be larger than many other video types.
If someone has a fast connection and does not mind waiting a bit, an
avi can give good resolution.
My favorite video format at the moment is the relatively new flv/swf
format. Flash is installed on many computers, and the new flv/swf
format can give very high video resolution, if you wish. Several large
sites such as Google, MySpace, and news organizations have now
converted to this video format for streaming video. An example of this
format is also given at the video zoo. The .swf is of fairly small
file size, and produces the player, controls, any logos etc. The
actual video is the .flv(flash video) which is in the same directory
as the .swf, and the .swf automatically links to it. The viewer will
not see a reference to the .flv in the code, but it is downloaded to
the temporary cache of the browser, where it can be found.
