So the original question "WMV or AVI" doesn't really make any sense... it's like asking whether you should drive a Ford, or a car.
What he said... but in a world where Ford only produces trucks. "avi" is generic as hell.

Something that hasn't been mentioned - vista peeps might have issues with avi's... you'll also have to explain to every other user how they need to download/install the proper codecs - and who wants to spend your time connecting the dots for your customers - who are already frustrated because they can't get your videos to work. Best to stick to formats that have companies such as adobe or microsoft or apple behind them.
