Hi Holger,

AVFS looks good, it might work.

Note, however, that ImageJ is restricted to AVI 1 (maximum size 2  
GB); for AVI 2 (which supports larger files) it will probably read a  
bit less than the first 1 GB. There was a recent thread in this  
mailinglist about extending ImageJ to read full AVI 2.
