Here is what I have so far.

It parses both AVI file types (original and OpenDML) and generates an 
index for both file types as well.
However, as allways there are lots of bad AVI file creators out there.

I still need to implement the Seek and GetNextChunk functions.

Both of them should just use the metadata function GetPositionForFrame 
to position in the file.

Ok I will look at that.

I should have some more time to work on this  before I head off for 
christmas on friday but 
you are welcome to take the code and do with it whatever you need to.
