I need Advice on Picture and Video Properties
I think the pictures have to be in .bmp format and the video must be in .avi format but thats all I know.

I need info such as size, bit, fps, video rate ect.

Any info is greatly appreciated. I want the attributes to be correct so AVS can run as smooth and fast as possible.

To figure out size of bitmaps, just open them in paint and go into its attributes.

For video - you may need to get a freeware video editor. They should have somewhere in it that information.

Also does it matter how long the video file is(10 second clip vs. 30 second clip)? does it slow it down if it's longer or because it steams it does'nt matter?

I doubt that length will slow it down much(if at all), but if you are planning on releasing this to the public, you will not want it to be long, cuz it will have a huge filesize). If you do release this, try these things - use a video editor to delete intermittant frames - get it down to as few frames as you can while keeping it "smooth". AVS can be used to change the playback speed, so you can change the speed too.
