This is probably the biggest site that concentrates exclusively on movies that are created on an emulator. Games completed on the real console don't produce a movie file. I know Doomworld produces also the movie files of their records (in fact, they only publish those, and not AVIs). If you are interested in Doom speedruns, check http://www.doomworld.com/tas/. TAS-making is also known in Japan (under the term "timeattack", タイムアタック), but they are generally found in rather closed communities with no contact to foreign countries. One such site is http://www.geocities.co.jp/Playtown-Denei/3370/entry.htm. Naturally, it is in Japanese language. (You need to select SJIS encoding manually because it's a designed-for-Microsoft-IE-with-Japanese-defaults page.) Then there are plenty of individual publishers who only publish their own movies. Many of their productions are also found on this site. Your best bet is to use a search engine such as http://www.google.com/.

Bisq, do you know where can I find the Doom time attacks in AVI or other video format?

Nope, sorry. I published some of them at my site in its early days, but they are no longer available here. (And I don't have them.)

Do you like Doom Bisqwit? It's one of my favorites. I'm actually working on a Doom 2 wad right now.

Quake speedruns are also all published in Quake's own movie format. The same is true for Quake2 and Quake3 movies. I haven't followed other projects too closely. Of course there's a kind of difference between Quake and (old) console games, and you are probably looking for the latter, but anyways.

I don't know if this is what you mean, but have you checked these out? These movies are all in avi-format, and they also have links to other Doom-speedrunning sites. You probably knew about these SDA-runs already, but I thought I would tell you just in case. ;)
My own page on this site.

<extreme_nitpicking> Saying "a video in AVI format" doesn't actually say anything about the video format. This is because AVI is just a video/audio container file and it doesn't tell anything about how the video/audio is encoded inside it. In theory it would be possible to put a FCM/whatever movie data file inside an AVI and, as long as some codec (which would in practice be the emulator converted to a codec) would be developed which could interpret it, it would be just OK and a valid AVI. Of course you wouldn't be able to play it without the codec. </extreme_nitpicking> But yes, when people say "in AVI format" they usually just mean "in some MPEG4 implementation inside an AVI file".
