Upon further investigation, it seems like this isn't as trivial as I first
thought but still should be possible. I was really hoping to find a cross
platform solution but that might be wishing for too much.

Take a look at avifile (http://avifile.sourceforge.net). It should provide
a similar interface as the video for windows AVI* functions which are used
in the win32 version of IDLtoAVI. What is neat about it is that it uses
win32 codecs (so linux users have access to a wide range of codecs) but this
limits it to x86 linux. The documentation is thin but there are a few
examples that aren't bad.
