"AVI" format doesn't really help.  It's only a container, and can
contain many different types of audio-video data.  You'd really need to
find out what sort of AVI file it is, to try and resolve that problem.

Having said that, I find that mplayer, with the extra codecs available
from is website, can play just about anything.  Likewise, VLC can play
just about any file I try with it.  There's two alternatives for you to
try out.
