Avi is not really a specific format, it depends 100% on the codec you use... If you want to play safe, you can use cinepak or one of the older indeo formats (but they suck in this day and age) I'm not sure if indeo 5.x works standard on 98... it does if they have a +- recent version of mediaplayer...
If you're willing to make'em install stuff, go with divx, gives you the best quality and the smallest files - plus the setup is tiny.

I want to include a video intro in a director projector I am creating. The playback spec is PC only however must include win 98 as a minimum. What is the best format to create or convert the digital video to in order that the user does not need any additional plugins such as Quicktime. Would an AVI work fine or does it require Video For Windows still as it used to do years ago when I last used an AVI in a project. If AVI is the way to go, should I be aware of any codec issues? The other alternative I thought of was to create separate bitmaps for each frame however there are 250 frames and they are all 800 by 400 pixels in size. As the projector will be running from a CD-ROM I would imagine it would not run fast enough without stuttering. Any wise words or tips much appreciated!
