I am using win32... but the final platform will be RedHat Linux, hence the
reason that I'm starting on cygwin. I won't be getting my red hat box for a
month or so.

AviFile on Windows API is a pain in the ^&*^*&8. No, actually programming
anything for Windows is a pain, not just multimedia.

If I do something new and creative with the code to get it to work, I'll try
to remember to post. However I think you are thinking I'm writing a program
for Win2K which thankfully is not the case.

I have compiled the large majority of the files - that uint64_t, int6_t
problem was pretty much all of the errors I was getting.

Yes it is - but currently noone has ever bother to help with the port
to Win32 platfrom.

So you have few posiblities - you might try to use ffmpeg - this
one is known to be portable to Win32 however I think noone is currently
actively developing it there.

Find another library for avi reading wrinting (I guess that
Microsoft has  avifile library in it's own environment)

You might try to help to fix portability problems with this avifile 
project - yet this certainly require experienced user and quite some
time...
