Sounds as if your AVI came from your digital camera. More than likely
it's created with a proprietary codec.
http://www.powerpointbackgrounds.com/powerpointtips.htm (at the bottom)
is worth a read. Perhaps changing the file extension to MPEG will work
in this case as well.
Otherwise, I'd resave the AVI using video editing software so that it's
compressed with a more standard codec. Or maybe use Windows Movie Maker
to save as a WMV and see if that works.
