[MEncoder-users] How to determine the codec of AVI file

[Dave M G]

Nicolas,

Thank you for responding.

> Start with the "file" command to see what it thinks about the file. 

Is this output helpful?

$ file -i video.avi
video.avi: application/octet-stream

Also, I notice something odd. When I look at the contents of the 
directory in Gnome terminal, the file name for this video file is in a 
pink font colour. I've never seen that before.
