But since .AVI files are "containers" you are free to use any CODEC you wish in RAW or otherwise. If you claim this .AVI is created without CODECS you have truly discovered something new.
All AVI files I'd found contain the FOURCC code to identify how to decode what's inside the AVI.
HOWEVER one can create a MPEG file and rename it to .AVI and while it's not an AVI Windows players still figure it out.
Great question that rips open a big confusing area for most.

Hi Everyone,
I am creating video screen captures of my desktop - for the purpose of creating software tutorial videos.
My software of choice for the video creation is called Camtasia Studio. I have used Camtasia before on many occassions without issue, however I recently updated my computer - to an i7, and since the update I have not been able to use Camtasia as I would like to. Camtasia itself still performs video capture however whenever I attempt to process the Camtasia file (.camrec) and turn it into a DivX AVI the software freezes.
As I suspected that the DivX codec was at fault I also installed the CCCP and XVid codecs, however Camtasia freezes regardless of the codec pack that I use.
To further boost my belief that the codecs are at fault Camtasia is able to create a "raw" AVI file (which has no codecs) however the file is entirely too big.
Are there any issues with codecs on an i7? Or are there any issues with Camtasia 7 on an i7?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Davo
