   Opens an AVI file using VFW in windows. *AVISource* should usually be
   the only function you have to use.
   
   The only two options are *fourcc*, which overrides the fourcc stored
   in the AVI, and *pixel_type*, which tells the decoder to prefer
   a certain output format.
   
   Accepted *pixel_type* values::
   
      YV24, YV16, YV12, YV411, YUY2, Y8, RGB32, RGB24, RGB48, P010, P016, P210, P216, v210
