 Q : What are the original recorded video dimensions ? My veo SD camera
 only records 320x240 "video" (lol) but takes 1280x1024 images....

 H263 should play back on Quicktime and probably Real Player. It's one
 of the codecs available to be encapsulated by 3GPP containers.
 
 For WMP playback you'd need a Directshow H263 decoder or a DMO
 ("directX media object") installed, I'm not sure there are that many
 free ones of those about.
 
 Netmeeting uses H263 as part of the video compression, but it's not a
 DirectShow decoder so even though it might show up in your codecs list
 on your PC, it can't be used by WMP for playback of that content.

 Dunno. Can VDub read the file ? RTFM on that as I suggested.

 Because "AVI" is not a codec format, it's a container format. So an
 AVI can encapsulate many types of video encoded with a range of
 codecs, coincidentally including MPEG4.
 
 At this point you need GSpot to understand more fully the insides of
 any random AVI file you happen to come across :

 Marc Liron's Sherlock program can helpfully list all available codecs
 on your PC : http://www.updatexp.com/sherlock-codec-detective.html
