Subject: .avi files - anyone know a viewer ?
Sender: ports-owner@freebsd.org
Precedence: bulk


I have this 10M image of an exploding whale, well short movie I think,
(appartently it washed up on a beach & the locals had to move it)
(it came from ftp.cathouse.org/pub/cathouse/urban.legends/gif/ul/whale.avi)

Anyway, anyone know how to view a .avi file (apparently its easy under 
ms-windows, but the ms-w friend i got the image for has no tape drive,
& I'm not going to write a stack of flops, + of course friends are saying:
really ? you cant's view .avi ? ... we can ! )

BTW I ask 'cos I was reminded by intro by asami of
xgrasp - X11 GRASP animation viewer
