Sounds like a codec issue but then I have a PC and none of that Mac bollocks.
You should be able play avi files without any problem!
Download Windows Media Player.
I'm sure theres a mac version or some other basic mpeg/avi player.
Check
www.downloads.com for mac avi players!

Most AVI files will not play with QT, as they are compressed with a codec that QTime will not recognise. Previous suggestions to download WMPlayer might not make you happy but most of us PC people have QTR, WMP and perhaps RealPlayer as well.
I am not to up on QT but there will be a codec that you can download with will help you.
Here are a few links to help

And there is a bit about MPG2 on Apples site
