hi

UDP is preferred over TCP for multimedia because of throughput and because if a packet or two is lost, we don't want to be waiting for a retransmission of the packets... which may cause 'jittery' video/sound. If there is a bit of garbage in the video file, most of the 'modern' video players will attempt to jump past the garbage.. No guarantees though.

For the avi header... it will have to be generated. GFF Format Summary: Microsoft RIFF contains the AVI header info
