    You need a VFW decompression codec for the type of video used in the AVI file. Use GSpot or MediaInfo to see what codec is required.

    Whatever codec it is, it is likely that ffdshow provides it, so install ffdshow if you haven't already.
    Then use its VfW video decoder configuration to 'switch on' the codec required.
