Working with AVI files in windows

[MRANFTL]

I'd like to create a small windows or dos console app in Visual C++ that will open AVI files in a batch and print out each file's properties to a file, like height and width, number of colors, and frames per sec. Does anyone know of the functions and libraries I should use?

Thanks in advance

On would figure that you should be able to open the file as binary and read the header to obtain this info:

This is the closest link I've found so far, but might not be what you need.

Mearly create a structure that represents the header and use fread() to read it using the structure profile.

Try this as well:
