There are some AVIs that neither AVI to Quicktime *nor* AVI->QT (different
applications) seem to be able to handle; on the other hand, IE4.0 (and
previously IE 3.1) working with the Indeo and IntelRaw extensions, display
them fine.

I have found a couple of AVIs, downloaded from the CNN web site, which
won't load into IE (error -50 I think), bomb the machine solid when I try
to convert them with AVI->QT and yet play fine in Win95 on a Toshiba.

There's obviously more to AVIs than meets the eye. I suspect it's a moving
standard.
