I've found absolutely no documentation or mention of what .avi format is supported for command briefing animations.

I'd prefer not to use .ani due to its being 8-bit.

There is no AVI support for current versions of FS2 Open.

IDK if it allows for Theora CBanims or not.

So the ability to select a file with an .ani extension in the command briefing menu, and the few posts in the past about people using .avi instead of .ani are then inaccurate?

[Trivial Psychic]

For the moment, .ani are all you can use for CB animations, as well as other interface and HUD elements.  Taylor will introduce a jpg-based video format which is intended for CB animations, though I'm not sure if it will work for other ani-based elements.  Taylor has indicated that this new format will see introduction by the time 3.7 is released.

Alrighty, so I guess I'll have to wait for 3.7 before I'm comfortable with releasing Twilight again.

So chop chop and zug zug!
