#1 heres a thread for avi support there is also a post in there to make the avi the first thing you see when you clik on the exe of torque

#2 its also possible to create avi's through 3dsm as part of the rendering, can get a pretty nice result with that.

#3 thanks, I'll get in to it, oh by the way, does it have to be any particlar format of AVI? because the uncompressed ones are very large.

I'm guessing there is a standard compression which everyone should have?

#4 @Edward,

I have only been able to get the AVI files to play with the Cinepak Codec. Please see my response to Shawn in this thread.

#5 Most people should have the following Codecs (for AVIs) installed automatically on their machines (if the codecs are missing, WinMedia Player will find these and install them):

Cinepak
Intel Indeo 3.2 and 5.1
Microsoft Video 1

All of these codecs can give you some really nice results with decent file sizes for the pixel size, but they can sometimes be cranky so you have to know how to coax them into working for you.

There are also a tonne of other codecs on the market (ie. Camtasia, MPEG1, and DivX), but they all have the same underlying problem where you need to do a custom install of the codec into the system for them to play, and you also need to worry about liscensing and possible spyware.
