The vtkAviWriter is available up until the latest version 9.4.0 (check IO/Movie folder). It’s only built if `VTK_USE_VIDEO_FOR_WINDOWS` flag is enabled however, maybe that is disabled in your VTK build?

If you’re looking for alternatives to .avi, check the subclasses listed in vtkAVIWriter’s base class [vtkGenericMovieWriter](https://vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkGenericMovieWriter.html) - we have successfully experimented with the [vtkOggTheoraWriter](https://vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkOggTheoraWriter.html) for example.
