Hi everybody

I had one of my short vhs videos dubbed to a cd. Then I ripped it with 
dvd::rip to harddisc and made an avi from it (see details below) and burned 
the avi to a cd. I can play the avi on my Suse 10.0 with every program 
(Mplayer, Xine, Kaffeine) without any problem, but Windows wouldn't play it 
(not with Mediaplayer nor Quicktime nor a PowerDvd demo version I've 
downloaded after googling...). It says something like "codec missing" and 
"can't find appropriate codec to download".

Well, I can't imagine why, but there are still a lot of people using Windows  
instead of an operating system for some reasons and so I should be able to 
produce a CD that even MS-users can view. 

Can anybody help me and tell me what codes I have to use so that I can make a 
CD (not a DVD) from it that even Win-users can play?

Any help is highly appreciated!

Daniel
