Ok, noted. I've only worked with video that has been transferred straight
off tape. I've not ever heard of AVI as a "wrapper" for other formats.

Well, for what it's worth, that's *all* AVI is. There is no inherent AVI
video codec (nor does an AVI file strictly speaking even have to have video
data in it). AVI is just a standard way of describing what video codec *is*
being used.

I'm sure some of their tools use Quicktime for certain things. What that
has to do with this discussion, I don't see.

It's the one file format that didn't get mentioned...and I'm pretty sure
most people don't equate Quicktime with pro-level work.

I just tossed that out as an "oh by the way."

I see...well, it's true that Quicktime would be a reasonably good option
(and it's one quite commonly used to distribute video in the Internet, as it
happens...maybe that's why no one mentioned it...it just goes without
saying, along with the other common video formats).
