State of the art, both in showcasing the sim, and in the YT production thereof.

Not for many years.
Notwithstanding, I still miss it.
I did have a look at an old backup drive once, and considered putting that massive 2.8GB FS9 build on a newer computer.
These days, a single aircraft download is more than that.

Ehhh belay that.. my FS9 final install was massive, here's just the aircraft bit of it:

And on that external drive: a whole bunch of movie clips from yesteryear, in AVI format so a real pain to upload to MP4

This is going to take me down a very deep rabbit hole...

Charl, the VLC player might help you while away the long winter nights. It accepts and converts avi input. https://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html

'Propliner' is actually short for 'Proper airliner, with big rumbly radials'

Yes thanks Mike I had an old 32 bit version, which while playing the AVI, did not convert to something that worked on my computer.
The 64 bit one does, and so does Flickr:
