I 've used Gspot to check what's the problem
It show that
failed to connect output pin 0x053c8634 ["stream00"] on AVI splitter to input pin 0x05c82724 ["in"] on filter
0x0289567b["ffdshow Video decorder"]. ConnectDirect[] failed. Error: 0x80040207: [unknown]
I don't know how to fix it.

Open the file with MediaInfo and view it in text mode.

Do you know the type of .avi -- as in the codec? DV? Xvid? Huffyuv? What? The .avi extension is just a container. We have to know more about the video inside the container. Could GSpot open the file at all?

Also, from where did the .avi come? If it's a download, chances are it may be a fake video file.

I had a similar problem with .avi files not opening in my video editing software. I had to download a avi to mpeg converter to be able to open them. http://www.youtube.com/user/TheCherryChurch#p/a
