MSDOS AVI Decompression

Posted by woofcow on 1999-08-14

hi. this is probably gonna end up being really complicated, but ill try and
make it as simple as i can. i want to code an avi viewer in djgpp/asm. i
know i could just take the easy way out and get a library, but i figure the
best way to learn about stuff is to code it yourself. i know there are a
multitude of codecs (indeo springs to mind), but which codec is
a) easiest to decompress?
b) fastest to decompress?
any information would be much appreciated.

cheers,
