Thanks Peter,

I have tried to install tovid. I haven't found it on packman, but there was a 
rpm for my openSuse 10.0 at rpm.pbone.net which I installed. I couldn't find 
the gui version (can't locate tovidgui.py on my system???), so I tried the 
command line version. All I got then was a .mpg-file, slightly smaller than 
the avi, but Windows still can't play it.

I still think Iit's all a question of using the right codecs, but which ones 
are the right ones?

I recently received a CD with some .mov files. They play on my Linux system as 
well as on Windows and a Mac, too. How did they make those files? I want to 
be able for that, too - and I am sure there's a way on Linux to achieve that.

Any ideas?
Thanks for any help...

Daniel
