SUMMARY
In the "Programmer's Guide" for Microsoft Video for Windows Development Kit, version 1.1, a text search on "JPEG" and selection of the Custom Formats topic displays the following incorrect information in table in the Custom Formats section. The information in the table indicates that Video for Windows includes a compressor supporting JPEG compression:

The following is a list of the compression types used by the compressors included with Video for Windows.

  Registered by      Four-character code    Compression method -  Microsoft          MSVC                   Video 1 Microsoft         MRLE                   Run-length encoding Texas Instruments JPEG                   JPEG format for images Supermac          CVID                   Cinepak Intel             YUV9                   411 YUV format Intel             RT21                   Indeo 2.1 format Intel             IV31                   Indeo 3.0 format This table is misleading. While it is true that Texas Instruments has registered the FourCC for JPEG, no JPEG compressor is actually included with Video for Windows runtimes or with the Microsoft Video for Windows Development Kit version 1.1.
