   Nothing on the Amiga will play Intel Indeo(tm) AVI or QuickTime movies,
barring a miracle.  Intel charges (I believe) $5,000 to license this "open"
standard.  There aren't too many Amiga developers around who can sink $5,000
into the development of a product, and it may not even sell enough to make up
that cost.
