[CUBE] Off topic: AVI

[Leif Joel Örell]

Thanks' those of you that answered my question about AVI codecs for 
Quick-Time.
I already have MPayer and VLC but I haven't used them much, I will try 
them, thank's.
I just thought that it was so convenient to have the possibility in 
Qick-Time too.
In the meantime I found some plugins on an old harddrive that copied 
and now I can play some AVI films with Quick-Time again.

Tanks' again for your input.
