Hi Marsilius,

I dont know if your intending to analyse after, but if you just want  
an avi that you can use in a presentation, then save as an animated GIF.

This file set was originally made for animators, you can actually drop  
the file into windows explorer and it will play straight off. But for  
presentations, just drop it onto powerpoint. Though i think there  
might be something else that you have to do to the file... cant think  
off th etop of my head what it is though sorry, try it out anyway.
