    AVI is just a container - it all depends on what codecs are used as to how you go about the conversion. Load the AVI into GSpot or AVICodec and it will give you everything you need to know. Post the screenshot back here if you'd like some more specific advice
    If in doubt, Google it.

    Load file into Virtualdub, and go to Video > Direct Stream Copy and then go to Audio > Direct Stream Copy. Go to File > Save as AVI, and choose a filename. Wait a few minutes and you'll have a new AVI with all the data copied across, but with new headers written. Then try converting this new AVI.
    If in doubt, Google it.

    Or you could try DIVFIX. It is a free program you can get here and it will strip and repair the index on the file. This will allow you encoder to recognise the file. this also works to watch incomplete files. Just a suggestion - hope it works!
