The reason this project was started is that in year 2000 the only usable movie format on PC was AVI, which had seen its best days and couldn't really be extended any further. The project started with brainstorming on what should an optimal video format do. At that time, the project was just a text file on the home computer of the current project leader, [[Lasse Kärkkäinen]] (Tronic). He wrote a very primitive specification and then contacted the definite number one AVI hobbyist, [[Avery Lee]], best known of his free video editing application [[VirtualDub]], for comments. After a few e-mails back and forth, the format began to get its shape. At that time the format was basically just ''a better AVI'', with only some simple improvements such as timecodes, tagging and reliability against incomplete file transfers and other errors.
