    Hi Belbear, please try again. I added avi’s as an acceptable attachment. Learned something about mime types in the process. Who knew?

    So, try to upload so I can see if it works.

    Thanks!

    Unfortunately only a few Google video links still have the download link, like this one:

    One more try.
    Note that I deliberately kept quality low because this is just a demo.
    Better quality (theoretically up to professional HDTV) can be obtained by installing better codecs.

    Rezwan,

    Posting AVI’s now works, although I doubt its usability when only 500K size is allowed.
    I could not play the avi directly from the web site (With sound, but no picture) but it did play when the file was downloaded and played locally.

    But AVI’s are a real PITA anyway, could be this old, worn-out and often repaired Windows setup …

    Yeah, it was supposed to be some kind of catch-all “envelope” for different formats but, like most MS solutions, spawned a litter of worse problems than it was supposed to solve.
