What is a 5MB AVI file useful for?
A 5 MB AVI is the typical output of a 3–4 minute recording from legacy screen-capture software or a short clip exported from old video editing tools. Use it to test that your transcoding pipeline handles the full AVI RIFF structure at a realistic size — including the idx1 index appended at the end — and that your pipeline correctly queues AVI-to-MP4 conversion before delivering content to browsers.

Generated by ffmpeg. A 1,280 × 720 SMPTE colour-bar test pattern approximately 3.5 minutes long. H.264 at CRF 28, MP3 stereo 128 kbps, AVI RIFF container with idx1 index. At this file size the idx1 index contains thousands of chunk offset entries, exercising index-parsing code paths in media libraries that read AVI containers.
