That being said, Apple has much better container formats to support - the ones they had a hand in, namely Quicktime and its offspring MPEG-4.

Depending on what codec was used in that AVI file, you might be able to convert it to a format more widespread and compatible than what it's in right now. If I convert a video using Any Video Converter, I can choose one of about 5 or 6 formats in video, and one of 3 formats in audio for AVI.
