Plans to support loading older AVI 1.0 (type 1) files?

[thomasmfields]

Hi there,

Do you have any plans to update this library to support loading type 1 AVI files? At the moment when you try to load one, it results in an exception from Type2Index::Read():

if ( superIndex.bIndexType != 0/AVI_INDEX_OF_INDEXES/ ) Stream::ThrowException();

where for the file I am trying to load has a bIndexType value of 32.

Many thanks,
Tom

No plans for that. I wrote this code a few years ago and currently don't have too much interest in expanding it. I think I only ever needed to read AVI files that were written out by this library (and possibly DirectShow).

Looks to me like this is going to be resolved by this pull request: #9 if I understand it correctly?

I think so. Hopefully the PR works in general, but it was designed for a specific shortcoming in our product.
