00016 * \section Description
00017 *
00018 * \par
00019 * Windows Copyright Microsoft Corporation.
00020 * \par
00021 * Access to the AVI format uses Windows AVIFile library. Available in Windows Only. \n
00022 * When writing a new file you must use an ".avi" extension, or the Windows API will fail. \n
00023 * You must link the application with "im_avi.lib"
00024 * and you must call the function \ref imFormatRegisterAVI once
00025 * to register the format into the IM core library. \n
00026 * Depends also on the VFW library (vfw32.lib).
00027 * When using the "im_avi.dll" this extra library is not necessary. \n
00028 * If using Cygwin or MingW must link with "-lvfw32".
00029 * Old versions of Cygwin and MingW use the "-lvfw_ms32" and "-lvfw_avi32".
