Tells how to go about the codec stuff.
The Cinepak by Radius was (is) one of the old Windows AVI codecs.
Maybe there was a audio layer and it somehow garbled things in a mild way.
I had no trouble seeing the butterfly fluttering in WMP 7.0 either.
I have DirectShow (some DirectX thing?) installed too I guess.  So many
variables, obvious the multimedia idea hasn't merged into something a single
player can handle.
