Currently pitfdll only works for a few of the codecs in W32codecs, but
WMV9 is one of them. The couple of wmvs I've tried with it seemed to
work okay, as long as I didn't try seeking.

With the AVIs can you try opening one in Totem, and seeing what codec is
reported in File->Properties? (avi is only the container format)
