A full-featured AVI video player.

aviplayer(varargin)
function aviplayer(varargin)
% AVIPLAYER(VARARGIN)
%
% This function may be called with 1 or no input arguments; either way, it launches a full-featured AVI player, 
% complete with "play," "pause," "forward," "reverse," "loop," "inter-frame pause," "skip-frame,"
% "forward 100 frames," "back 100 frames," "beginning-of-file," and "end-of-file capabilities."
% All functions were written in MATLAB, and were tested using R12.1 and R13.
%
% If called with 1 argument, the input argument must be a valid path/filename of a valid AVI file to read and display.
% E.g., 
% aviplayer('C:\Sample Data\ModelLERatFluorescein\LERat1.AVI')
%
% With no input arguments (e.g., aviplayer), the program will prompt the user for the location of the file.
%
% While aviplayer does not require the Image Processing Toolbox, it works
% faster with it. (With the IP Toolbox, it calls imshow; otherwise, it
% calls image(ind2rgb(cdata,map)).
%
% Note that there is a minor bug in TMW's aviinfo mfile (which is called by aviplayer). It
% should not affect the performance of this program. Nonetheless, for convenience,
% the first non-commented line of this program turns off the warning
% message that you would otherwise get running this program in R13.
