    Described in MSDN Library I think, look better in the DirectShow chapters. IIRC AVI is a subkind of RIFF file format, which is also used for WAV and MP3.

  Hello there every one,
  Does any one know where I can find the structure of the AVI format ? I assume there is video portion and audio portion, how this format is laid out is very important to me.
  I already know BMP format, Meta file format etc.. AVI is the next format I like to know, for my programming of course.
  I would appreciate your help.
  Sincerely,
  Neptune.
