Maarten stumbled across what he said was very useful documentation about the AVI file format. For future reference, here it is: http://sunsson.iptime.org/projects/juliet/wiki/MediaFileFormat
AVI files are just RIFF files, and RIFF file format is very well documented, and should be well supported in Wine: mmioOpen, mmioDescend, etc.
Both dlls/mciavi32 and dlls/avifil32 are able to parse and play AVI files.
