Yes, but the FFMpeg command line is unique and applied to all files served to the MVP. That works as long as all your AVIs have the same aspect ratio, which is rarely the case. Some of my files need resizing, some need borders and some need cropping.
Creating AVS files and playing the .avs instead of the .avi allows you to correct each file individually.
So to summarize: if all your files have an identical AR, use the FFMpeg command line to correct it. if not, either re-encode all your files to the same AR, or use .avs files.
Using AVS files also increase your CPU needs. My AthlonXP 3000+ can barely do the job...
