AVI is old, AVI has issues. AVI is not compatible with some |
| 15 |
codecs. *But* AVI has been around for long enough to be supported by |
| 16 |
many versions of Windows and Office, and what we're looking for here is |
| 17 |
whatever offers the broadest support. I don't even think Windows (at |
| 18 |
least up to 7) has a builtin h264 decoder. At least I remember having to |
| 19 |
install codecs in Vista and 7 machines in order to view h264 Youtube |
| 20 |
videos. |
