What is a 100KB AVI file useful for?
A 100 KB AVI is the right file for testing that your media pipeline handles the legacy RIFF-based AVI container — still common in archival footage, older Windows screen recorders, and DVD rips. Use it to verify MIME type detection (video/x-msvideo), to confirm your pipeline correctly reads the AVI RIFF header (52 49 46 46 magic bytes), and to test that your transcoder handles AVI without assuming MP4 container conventions.
