The Audio Visual Connection software is a fairly powerful authoring package 
which runs under both OS/2 and DOS (NOT Windows), although certain features 
are limited under DOS, such as MIDI music playback.  It supports a variety 
of resolutions (MCGA, VGA, VGA8, XGA).  It is script-driven, although the 
menu pull-downs can be used to generate simple, linear presentations without 
the necessity of understanding programming principles such as branching and 
looping.  

AVC supports the M-Video Capture Adapter for grabbing still-frame images 
from NTSC, VHS, S-VHS, or RGB input.  Sound comes from the M-Audio Capture 
and Playback Adapter, which records 5.5KHz, 11KHz, 22KHz, and 44KHz 
audio;  music synthesis is also available, enabling the use of standard Type 
1 MIDI format files.  The M-Motion card can be used under AVC to provide 
simultaneous full-motion video from up to three analog video sources.  
Support is coming for the ActionMedia II digital video cards.

AVC stores images from the M-VCA card in an optimized format, producing 
smaller files than those obtained by using the capture mode of the M-Motion 
card.  AVC is generally more powerful than SL!, enabling the creation of 
more sophisticated products.  But this costs, both in development time and 
hardware requirements, particularly memory (minimum 6M for authoring, 4M for 
delivery).
