Hi. In my program I render several 3D shapes and while rendering them each frame is added to an AVI file - that's how I create a little movie. To init. the AVI file I use the function: AVIFileInit(), at the end of the movie I need to release/close the avi file otherwise it won't create it right. My question is: How do I close it right ?? I tried using the AVIFileExit() but it doesn't do the job. Thanks.

Use this order of operations:

AVIFileInitAVIFileOpen...AVIFileReleaseAVIFileExit

If, for instance, I have 100 frames in my movie, Do I have to release it 100 times ??? decreasing the counter to zero ??

No, there is a reference count on the number of open handles. The file is opened using AVIFileOpen. So, match all "AVIFileOpen"s with "AVIFileRelease"s and you should be fine.
