The AVI container is so last millennium. It should have been phased out years ago.  |
Every format has its advantages and disadvantages.
AVI is still alive and it is supported and used, also for archiving.

Well, mkv is seen as a new free solution for archiving, exactly because of the file comments, its easy editable header structure and its ability to perform a content check via CRC (

I saw it also at this year’s IASA conference and that is the reason why I am here, because I consider it as a possible solution beside IMF for our archive.
So, it also would be ideal if there could be a menu inside VirtualDub to edit the metadata of the mkv header (aspect ratio, cropping etc.)
