Once in a while, my video computer die from a kernel panic. If this happens 
while I'm recording something (which it normally does), I'm left with an avi 
file with no usable values in the header.

Is there any good way to fix such a file? The problem is that lavrec, when the 
kernel dies, cannot fill in all necessary chunk length data and other things 
that normally lives in a RIFF header. lavplay doesn't want to touch the file, 
neither do any other lavtool. mplayer doesn't refuse to try, but can't do 
anything with the file anyway, not even if I try rebuilding the index and 
such with it.

I could most likely fix it manually, but that's a chore...
