The Avifile package contains aviplay, avibench, avifile-config, mmxnow-config, avirecompress, avicap, avirec, kv4lsetup, avicat, avitype and avimake.
aviplay manages the input formats, the CODECs and the output formats to display AVI video files on your screen.
avifile-config is run by configure for programs wishing to link to the Avifile library.
avirecompress is a widget that takes an input file of one CODEC type and converts it into a video file of another CODEC.
avicap is a widget that displays acquired video from a Video For Windows (vfw) compatible device, like a webcam or a TV-tuner.
