AVI (audio/video interleaved) files contain full-color animations and
use several, mostly lossy, compression schemes similar to JPEG/MPEG.
FLCs are a lot like Amiga ANIMs--in fact the same guy, Jim Kent, has
been associated with both formats. FLCs contain 8-bit (256 color)
animations compressed with lossless delta and run-length encoding.
AVI is one of the image formats supported by HIIP, the image loader and
saver package that will ship with LW. We haven't had a chance to play
with it much yet, so I can't say what the extent of that support will
be, but it appears that the saver is a black box--you won't be able to
set things like the codec, data rate, keyframe rate, image quality and
so on.
