If you install a new codec (such as Lagarith), it will become one of the choices when you render the animation to AVI. Below is an example with Poser 6 under Windows XP, chosing Lagarith as the codec and you can see some of the other options when clicking Configuration, including whether to use Null frames, and whether to render just the color (RGB - Default) or RGBA (RGB plus Alpha) or other choices.

Lagarith is derived or partly coded from the Huffyyuff codec. But it has been changed to be lossless and still reasonably fast, often faster than Huffyyuff, and provides decent file reduction (compression). When I think of Lagarith I like to think of an analogy with Iceows (formerly Arjfolder), a file compression tool (also free) similar to zip, 7z and others, but with wavelet technology and better compression for some types of files, yet lossless of course (for data it has to be :-)
