You could use ffmpeg to turn the movie into jpgs, process the jpgs and then
convert back again:

Would use a lot of disk space I guess, but you could process the videos 100
frames at a time or whatever?
I think mencoder lets you do similar (-vo png?) for a wider range of video
formats (I note you said an AVI but didn't specify the video codec - I think
AVI is just a container format?)
