MPEG-2 Video in AVI - can't be done?

blueshift · 10th February 2010, 10:04

Hello folks,

I have working software that produces AVI files containing MPEG-4 ASP video, I'd like to extend that with a option to support MPEG-2 video, but searching around haven't found any sample files, clues about FourCCs or even if this is supported.

Can just use plain MPEG transport stream but it would be nice to keep everything AVI, although playback support "out of the box" on things like Windows XP are important too. If users had to install an unusual codec that would not be OK.

If someone who knows what they're talking about could give me a thumbs up / down, that would be great. thanks.
