Video for Windows (VfW, also referred to as Video Compression Manager (VCM)) was a multimedia framework developed by Microsoft that allowed Microsoft Windows to play digital video. Video for Windows was first introduced in November 1992. Video for Windows was developed as a reaction to Apple Computer's QuickTime technology, which added digital video to the Macintosh platform. Costing around $200, the software included editing and encoding programs for use with video input boards. A runtime version for viewing videos only was also made available.
