Thought i'd share this info with present and future animators.

I just bought a portable DVD player thinking i'd be able to show my animations after burning them to a DVD. I found out that most portable DVD players won't play .avi, divx or any of the video formats i was using so was i disappointed!

So --as usual -- knowing the answer was online i asked the logical question about playing avi on portable DVD players, ran across this software, downloaded the trial version and found out it's pretty cool.
