Are you asking does AVI sup****t uncompressed movies? The answer is yes.
AVI
is a container format, it does not specify how movies are encoded.

As for writing such a player yourself, you are probably reinventing the
wheel. Most platforms and frameworks have players for AVI format videos or
mpeg ones. e.g. DirectX, SDL etc.
