Literally random videos

It seems you can have quite some fun creating random videos (by this, the raw data bytes could contain data from random.org, or an unrelated file, or similar).

I took a full resolution AVI of my computer with some random windows opened for 3 minutes without doing anything, and then corrupted most of the AVI to have random hex values. Unfortunately it's now only a few frames long, but I got this beauty.

With another type of AVI encoding, I got a cool animation after corrupting a video taken from DS Capture. I had to convert it into an MP4 first though as my computer wouldn't play the AVI:

First second looped, low frame rate (as imgur wouldn't take it):

You can corrupt WAV files to have arbitrary data as well, but unfortunately you may just get noise that isn't really interesting.

In fact, you could modify the above video to look more like MissingNo. which would make a great animation.
