Re: Re: Feature request – Export to (uncompressed) DV-AVI
I completely agree with not wanting to limit any features to just one platform.
OK, I confess I did some further digging to see how challenging it would be to find (favorably licensed) source code and to educate myself more on the structure of AVI files. Turns out that AVI files are Microsoft extended RIFF format files (from the days of the Amiga…I used the BBC Micro and Atari ST myself so I don’t know about such things… yes, I know please grit your teeth and smile. š ).
But, back to the question at hand. Turns out there is public domain Blitz Basic source code for reading & writing RIFF format files which may be a helpful starting point toward creating simple video AVI files,
