websend.avi as a custom resource for TAnimate?

Question

In Delphi XE2, I try to use websend.avi as a custom resource for TAnimate, by including it in Project/Resources and Images, in the same way as referred here:

Animate1.ResName := 'WEBSENDAVI';
Animate1.Active := True;

However, while the same procedure works fine with cool.avi, it always crashes with websend.avi:

So it seems TAnimate can accept only certain AVI files, while it crashes with other AVI files.
Which are the rules for AVI files to work with TAnimate in the above way?

Answer 1

The documentation explains that you can use AVI files with raw uncompressed frames, or with run length encoding compression. The AVI of yours that fails does not meet those requirements.
