The solutions mentioned previously don't interpret the video format.
AVI is just a container and can be one of any number of formats.  You
could make a 1GB video with ffmpeg or mencoder.  If you are lazy, just
insert blank frames of black.  However, obviously these will compress
too well in most formats.  Maybe adding random noisy frames is better
for such a format.  I would use cinelerra or kino if you have no idea
how to use the command line options for the other tools above...
