I haven't tried the ffmpeg (avcodec) output on MS, but I have reports
that the mencoder (xvid codec) output works fine - I haven't got any MS
ware to try it on :) A colleague of mine has a DVD player that claims to
play AVIs burned onto CDs but we haven't been able to make that work yet :)

Implementing platform independent standards doesn't seem to be high
on the priority list for the commercial vendors - they are probably fed up
with seeing better implementations in open source ;)
