The CoCo 3 drivers in mess create two views. A "Composite" and a "RGB".
The "Composite" view is defined first so it is the default view.

There is an option "snapview" that lets you determine which view gets
used when maing snapshots or movies. Try "-snapview RGB" with your avi
write command to set the specific view you want to use.
