Why not tell them to download the free DIVX player at http://www.divx.com/divx/player/download/ and use it to play the files? If burning the uncompressed files to CD, it would be best to use CDR, not R/W.
I have Windows 98 SE. I created some AVI files with my digital camera and uploaded to my computer. They were too dark so I edited the files with VirtualDub. Now the files were huge and could not be emailed . So I used VirtualDub with DIVX codec to compress. The problem is that nobody can read the compressed files that I send. Can the files be uncompressed? A friend suggested I download VLC. Is it a good program and easy to use?
Also would it work if I write the original VirtualDub without compression to a CD? should I use R/W or recordable? Will either be easier for another Windows 98 machine to read?
Thanks for your help with all my questions.
