[NTLUG:Discuss] linux movie question

[Mike Hart]

.avi is not a video codec specification, just the specification for the file wrapping the actual video.  You need to analyze the file as to what format the video is actually encoded in.  

as far as video editors, I like what 2mandvd looks like (name of the pclinux package... and my linux boxes are all offline at the moment.)
