And that is
exactly why I use Lagarith instead of FFV1. I need to be able to send someone an .avi file and have them easily be able to do whatever with it in their existing Windows tools.
If there was a stand-alone installer for FFV1 that provided 32-bit and 64-bit VfW/DirectShow/MediaFoundation encoders and decoders, I'd be over the moon. If it had QuickTime components for Mac and Windows, I'd never use anything else.
