also use a variety of commercial software applications to edit and perform other
operations on AVI files.
Note:
Windows Media Player and other video players render files slower than real
time if the files were recorded at 40 frames per second or greater. This can be
confusing because the slider moves faster than the video plays such that the
slider reaches the end of its travel before the video finishes playing.
The AVI format allows the embedding of additional data segments within AVI
files. Each embedded data segment has an identification tag. Typically, an AVI
file reader that does not recognize a tag for an embedded data segment skips that
data segment. CinePlex Studio always produces AVI files with a Plexon-specific
additional tagged data segment that contains dynamic data for each video frame.
CinePlex Editor can read this additional data segment in the AVI files generated
by CinePlex Studio and thus recover the timestamp of each frame. Other AVI file
readers like Windows Media Player ignore this data. This Plexon-specific nondestructive
embedded data is not visible on the video frame. However, CinePlex
Studio contains an optional feature that can overlay this time stamp in visible
numerals on the video image itself; see “DVR Group” on page 125.
