Just copy your AVI files in your AVS directory, by default it's c:\program files\winamp\plugins\avs ...ET VOILA :)

What are you wanting to make
There's many different ways to make an avi, so what you're trying to make greatly affects which one is easiest to make. Could you tell me what you had in mind to make?
You're probably not interested in using AVS to capture an AVI file of one of your avs presets (but that's one way to make an avi)
You might be wanting to make an animated graphic into an avi file. In that case, you'll need a frame-by-frame editor such as Sonic Foundry's program called Viscosity. If you're planning on making each frame, I don't recommend trying to create each frame from scratch. I'd recommend making your first frame and then modifying it and saving it as a different image file for every frame. That way you won't run into complications with the position of the object jumping around and annoying stuff like that.
Just say what you have in mind & I'll do my best to direct you in the right direction

It appears they don't make viscosity anymore, but the website you can download some demo video programs is http://www.sonicfoundry.com/download/step1.asp?CatID=1
You'll probably want more programs than just a video editing program (like a high-quality image-editing program to make each frame).
That means you'll have to make each frame separately (but use each previous one for the template to modify for the next frame). You'll either have to download an image of a snowflaake to manipulate different copy & paste & rotatiosn in your editing program. Check some of the other threads in the forum for some other image editing programs. You'll find some in a thread I started called Avatar Compression. Hope that gets you started.
