AVI file format
#10
We can have all sorts of fun doing animation, since it's frame by frame, you're not limited by the speed of the computer (hard drive space on the other hand...)

Here's a simple example:

' I've been wanting this for a really long time. A program that creates a valid
' AVI format with sound. The following program only creates (does not play) an
' uncompressed AVI file, which also contains uncompressed stereo audio. For this
' reason, prepare about 180 megabytes of free disk space for the test. I think
' it's already quite complicated, so if I add compression to it, it would be much
' more complicated. I will deal with compression, but I don't know how far I will
' get, because I encounter many obstacles.
' I must warn you that Windows Media Player blurs the image due to the player's
' internal filters, VLC player has the best outputs. MPC-HC plays it too, but it
' rotates the image. I can rotate the image in AVI, but then it is rotated again
' in Windows Media Player and in VLC. It's kind of a beginning... and also an
' extreme. First I deal with compression in GIF and save every byte and now tens
' of MegaBytes are no big deal...
' It's uncompressed, so expect a data rate somewhere around 60 megabytes per
' second. QB64PE can handle that speed just fine.

' I used your code as a basis but refactored several things.
' There is now one big AVI header type that is rewritten in the end.
' Also image and audiosamples are now generated inline so no mem limit anymore.
' You can now create AVI's up to 4GB (I think that is some AVI limit?)
