This works fine with the newest version of avifile and the Windows-dlls installed, but in SuSE 8.1 (which includes avifile-0.7.7_20020523) some decoders produces images that are upside down, but in the right direction if i play the movie with aviplay.
Those (or at least some) of us who use avifile with non-avi* applications (in my case, with vcr) saw this same problem last summer, when a new version of libavifile came out. In my case, the calling application (vcr) had to be revised to eliminate a place where it did its own image inversion (to cancel the one that the older libavifile did). A "20020523" version of avifile would have the old code in it.
Since aviplay is part of the avifile package, it gets updated in sync with avifile, so (with matching versions) you don't see the problem.
This is a sort of problem that occurs with some regularity, BTW. My Debian-unstable (Sid) video boxes currently do not work with the very latest version of libavifile once again, because vcr hasn't yet been updated to use the new API. (It's a particular problem with this app because vcr has apparently been abandoned by its author, and only its Debian version is being updated to stay in sync with libavifile.) I go through this problem here roughly once every 3 months, as outside apps need to catch up to changes to libavifile. That you get used to it is the only advice I can offer.
