See http://www.strusel007.de/linux/xawtv/ No, 3.22 *grin*. 3.14 is the last one with avi bugfixes, so if you have something older a upgrade might help. I also have some outstanding bugreports about xawtv writing broken avi files. Unfortunality I'm not able to reproduce these on my system (I *love* those bugs...). So you should verify the files written by xawtv before blaiming other software for being broken. There is showriff in the tools subdirectory which can dumb the structure and some headers of avi files. If showriff doesn't print error messages and xanim can playback the movies the files should be ok. > - avi is a VERY generic video format, covering lots of lots of lots of > sub-formats, you probably knew it already. xawtv can write mjpeg frames and raw uncompressed rgb data (15 and 24 bpp).
