Video for Windows

   Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia 0.07 sec.

Video for Windows

The name of Microsoft's first video playback implementation in Windows. Supporting the AVI movie format, Video for Windows (VfW) was installed separately in Windows 3.x, but was later built into Windows 95 and subsequent versions. Initially, the Video 1, RLE and Indeo compression methods were included. Windows 95 added Cinepak compression and provided drivers for Sony ViSCA VCRs and LaserDiscs. Video playback quality was rather jerky on 486s and earlier Pentiums.
