This comes with a second multimedia disk which contains 225 megabytes of windows media file that ply in a window inside of the home playing gui as well. The files actually contain an avi file with some alpha subcode. That is- if you just play the files in Windows media nine, you will seee the video plus some alph text. When played inside of fritz8 this alpha text sends instructions to a chess board that highlights squares and arrows, etc. This is a step up from the usual chess videos- and from including video in a web page of text in fritz. But the specs are not available I think for the home user to encode his own fritz media-- and that is a big disappointment for me.
