A .avi file could be a wide number of codecs. If you don't know what codec it uses get yourself the Vista Codec Pack which has just about everything you'll ever need, don't be fooled by the name, it'll work on XP as well.

That, combined with Marc's comments would sum it all up 
But yeh VLC player ftw - plays pretty much anything!
