Actually some of it replaces int by off_t, which is 64bit when
compiling with --enable-large-files (which is of course mandatory when
you want any kind of support for >2GB).  In strategic places, the
demux_... functions are used as to maintain a proper 64bit offset.
The fields within the AVI headers must still remain 32bit.  Therefore,
not everything can be transformed to off_t.
