"and there's nothing fancy happening in codec land: video is recorded in AVI"
Er, since an AVI file is a media container and is capable of holding audio and video content recorded in a multitude of different codecs, saying that makes no sense. Even if you meant that since it's using AVI files instead of MPG or MP4 which are designed for newer/more advanced codecs, stuff that was never intended to be put into AVI files can be stored inside (e.g. DivX/XviD videos).
Yes, I realize that Green House is to blame for the lack of video codec specs and a vague "The video recording system: AVI" (Google translation) description, but seeing that line of text from a tech-savvy site is disappointing.
