[Shotwell] Help us gather AVI video files for Shotwell testing

Friends of Shotwell,

In the Shotwell trunk we've already implemented the capability to read 
date/time metadata from QuickTime/MP4 files.  We're now working on doing 
the same for AVI video files (see #2837 
<http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2837> ) . Unfortunately, the format of the 
date/time information in AVI files varies from camera to camera. So we'd 
like to collect a set of sample AVI videos for testing to ensure that 
Shotwell will be able to read the date/time from the widest possible set 
of files.

If you have a camera that can record AVI videos, you can help by 
recording a short video and attaching it to
this page:

http://trac.yorba.org/wiki/AVISamples

The video can be as short as you like (1 second is fine) and can be at 
low resolution since we're only interested in the metadata. Please keep 
the video file less than 2 megabytes in size if possible. When you 
attach the file, please enter the name of your camera in the text box 
labeled "Description of the file". Thanks for your help!
