WinImages uses Windows 32-bit CODEC interface. WinImages can not use 16-bit CODECs from the Windows 3.1 era. Using Windows 32-bit CODEC mechanism means that Windows actually handles the CODECs themselves; they are not handled by WinImages. WinImages just hands basic images back and forth between it and Windows one after another, until the entire animated image stream is complete.

Since WinImages can load images of any size and bit depth, there are rarely any compatibility issues with loading AVI data as long as the right CODEC is in-system. For saving AVI data using a particular CODEC, things gener
