[vtk-developers] vtk cvs and vfw.dll

[Luca Picello]

in my vtkIO.dll the dependency required is exactly VFW32.DLL.
I do use Borland C++ Builder 6, it includes all files needed to link to 
vfw32.ddl
(vfw32.lib, vfw.h, vfwmsgs.h, vfw32.def).
is it possible you have something which links (visual studio?) to 
AVIFIL32.dll ?
AVIFIL32.dll is present in my system too.
