Solvegas, I do figure on making a lot more avi videos than gifs for the reasons that I mentioned and also for another reason that I forgot to mention that you did bring up and that is that with avi videos, they can be much larger than gifs, occupying a much larger portion of one's screen. Like you, I much prefer seeing them as big rather than a lot smaller in size. For anyone who isn't sure of how to see it at it's biggest, when you see the avi video, just look at the upper right and click on the little rectangle to the left of the x.
I'll just mention again that in order to see an avi video, you need to watch for the link because the picture can't show up in the post and here is another avi video of Beshine.
