If you can live with Quicktime in stead of AVI then there's a 
little-known solution (little known because I did the work two 
years ago but never advertised it): the Python quicktime module 
(included in the standard distribution, but usually enabled only 
in MacPython and on OSX) will work on Windows with only a few 
minor modifications. But you will of course need to have 
Quicktime installed. Python's quicktime module is automatically 
generated and exports about 90% of the full API.

If there's interest in this people could plead with me to fire 
up my Windows machine and put the mods into the repository,
