Rendering material to a Matrox VFW .avi file
When you render material to an .avi file, such as when you render a finished
video production or an animation, you must select the compressor (codec) you
want to create the file. The compressor determines the quality of your rendered
video. Refer to your program’s documentation for instructions on how to select a
compressor for your .avi file.

Note
When specifying your Export Movie settings in Adobe Premiere Pro,
you must set the
File Type
to
