Determining AVI 1.0 or 2.0

[grizz]

Is there a way to determine if a given video file adheres to either the AVI 1.0 or 2.0 standards?

Gspot from http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ does not seem to be good enough. Neither VirtualDub.

You can open the file in a hex editor and look for:

odmldmlh

If it exists, it is AVI 2.0 (OpenDML).

And if the file is >1GB then it is AVI 2.0.

GSpot certainly WILL indicate if the file is Open DML AVI (AVI 2.0). Just look in the box captioned "Container"...

mmmh, it seems that gspot may give a wrong information depending of the structure of the file...

Another great tool for analyzing AVI files is AVInaptic:

(Download and unzip "avinaptic-20071118-full-fixed.zip", the application runs in English language)

I put a divx file that should be AVI 1.0, and gspot shows 2.0
