Well, there's simply no way that Ronn's avi writer will work on a
Mac. The dll relies on Windows to run the codec to encode the avi.
Someone might be able to write a dll (is that what it's called -
perhaps shared library) for Linux and/or Mac if there is an API for
those systems.

Is that what you're asking?
