Can you elaborate a little more?

I just tried uploading an AVI from a trust level lower than the one defined in the `restrict to trust level` theme setting and it prevented the upload as expected.

If you would like to prevent non-staff users from uploading AVI files specifically, you should ensure the AVI extension isn’t added to `authorized extensions`. You can add the extension to  
`authorized extensions for staff` if you want staff to be able to upload AVIs.
