Sample AVI video files for testing, free, CC0 and hotlinkable
avi/640x480-5s.avi is for code that assumes video means H.264: it carries MPEG-4 Part 2
where mp4/720p-5s.mp4 carries H.264, so a decoder, thumbnailer or transcoder that handles the
MP4 and fails on this file has a codec assumption, not a container problem. The audio of
avi/640x480-5s.avi is MP3, mono at 48 kHz, a 440 Hz tone with one MP3 frame to each chunk.
avi/640x480-5s.avi keeps its idx1 index after the media data, so a reader that seeks has to
reach the end of the file first, and a download cut short has no index at all.
avi/640x480-5s.avi also pads its header lists with JUNK chunks and holds a vprp chunk,
which a parser has to skip by length, not reject.
The second video chunk of avi/640x480-5s.avi is empty, a frame slot with no data, so a
demuxer that takes an empty chunk for the end of the stream stops after one frame. At 640x480
and 30 frames per second, avi/640x480-5s.avi runs 5.04 seconds in 1,734,596 bytes.
