The Play AVI Application is used to open and play AVI, or audio video interleave (*.avi) files. The pavia.exe file is a separate application and can be copied to other computers to display existing animations on computers that do not have XMS installed. This is useful for displaying animations during a presentation or sending the animation to another individual or entity. It's not necessary to close the pavia application before creating another animation in XMS, but will not be able to create an animation with the same file name as an opened animation.
When the film loop has been fully generated in XMS, it will launch in a new Play AVI Application (PAVIA) window. This application contains the following controls:
- Play
– Starts the playback animation. During the animation, the speed and play mode can be changed. - Speed slider bar – Increases or decreases the playback speed. The speed depends on the computer being used.
- Frame slider bar – Used to jump to a specific frame of an animation.
- Stop
– Stops the playback animation. - Next Frame
– Allows manually stepping to the next frame. It only works when the animation is stopped. - Play then Rewind
– A play mode that will restart the animation when the end of the film loop has been reached. - Forward then Reverse
– A play mode that will show the film loop in reverse order when the end of the film loop has been reached. - Copy Current Frame
– Makes a screen capture of the current frame in the AVI player. The frame can then be copied to an image editor or word processor application. - Open
– Brings up a browser to open another AVI file.
A film loop generated in XMS will be saved in the AVI file format. AVI files can be used in software presentation packages, such as Microsoft PowerPoint or WordPerfect Presentations. A saved film loop may be opened from inside XMS or directly from inside the PAVIA application. Pavia.exe is located in the XMS installation directory and can be freely distributed.
Use the standard windows buttons to close 
, maximize 
, or minimize 
the application.
