What is a 1MB AVI file useful for?
A 1 MB AVI is common in legacy Windows workflows: older versions of Camtasia, Bandicam, and built-in Windows Game Bar produced AVI by default. Use it to test that your media ingest pipeline handles RIFF-based video containers correctly, that ffprobe reads AVI stream metadata without errors, and that your transcoding-to-MP4 pipeline handles the AVI container's index structure at a realistic file size.
What's inside this file?
Generated by ffmpeg. A 1,280 × 720 SMPTE colour-bar test pattern approximately 45 seconds long. H.264 video at CRF 28. Audio: a 440 Hz sine tone, stereo, MP3 at 128 kbps, 44.1 kHz. AVI RIFF container with standard idx1 index at the end of the file. The absence of a seek-ahead index means random seeking requires reading from the nearest keyframe forward.
