I believe that the RoadRunner used an MJPEG codec. Do a Google search on
converting MJPEGS to AVI. I seem to recall some available software to do
this. I could also be very wrong about that;-) Co-ioncidently, I am about
to strip an old Win98 computer that has a Matrox RoadRunner card in it. I
was going to put the card up on E-Bay. That card may help solve your
problem. Any interest?
