Comment (by tateu):

 I don't know if it's the same issue as I am having, it sounds similar.  I
 cannot even open AVI's > 1GB in Windows Media Player if they are bgr24
 rawvideo.  I have found a fix for my issue.  On line 270 of
 libavformat/avienc.c it currently says "/* suggested buffer size */
 //FIXME set at the end to largest chunk" but no one has ever added the
 FIXME.

 I've attached two patches which work for me.  The first one I think is
 definitely needed and changes the dwSuggestedBufferSize attribute of the
 strh header.  The 2nd one doesn't seem 100% necessary but it sets the
 dwMaxBytesPerSec and dwSuggestedBufferSize attributes of the avih header
 to 0. VirtualDub and Mencoder both set this dwSuggestedBufferSize
 attribute to 0. VirtualDub sets this dwMaxBytesPerSec attribute to a value
 very close to (strh->dwSuggestedBufferSize * frame_rate) and Mencoder sets
 it to 0.
