Well, AVI stands for Audio-Video Interleave. So technically it's an AVI
:) Maybe not one AVI you can play on WPM (not tested). You can look at
the file header, and you'll see.

Anyway, as I wrote in another mail, I like my DVD-Rom drive and don't
want to buy another soon. So do what you want to do. I just told you
