[P1] Playing AVI video files

[Scott Warren]

One really annoying thing I found was when I tried to make some AVI 
files, depending on who makes them and how they are made, they can not 
be seen on just any computer.  I had an ATI video card and I guess used 
their video software to make the AVI... turns out it only works on 
video cards that support ATI formats...  HOPEFULLY its better now where 
players know all the formats or the format is more standardized, but a 
pain in the ass to discover when the flashy part of a presentation 
depended on the file working.
