Re: AVI2ASCII ??

GIF to ASCII has already been done, I believe.  I have a PGM2ASCII
program, which could be adapted to other input formats.  If you want try
adding to my code, see my homepage and look for "p2a".  If people are
interested, I can upgrade this to work on BMP's.

I think your difficulty would be AVI2GIF or AVI2PGM or somesuch!  Once
you've got AVI's to a still-frame format, you can turn to ascii art.  Who
knows how to decode AVI?  Maybe ask some animation newsgroup...
