Are you a PC? (If you’re on a Mac the instructions would be totally different)
Are you 100% sure the file is avi and not wmv/asf? If you have any doubt feed it into gspot or avicodec.

If it’s avi and it indeed uses a fourcc of WMV3 did you download and run Microsoft’s VCM from here?

Was the avi file of correct length? (gspot or avicodec should tell you this) If it is not, use avipreview or media player classic to play the file.

If after all this it still doesn’t work, you should suspect file corruption. At that point feed the file into VirtualDub this way: click on file, open, but before you pick your video file click on 'ask for extended options after this dialog' at the bottom. then pick your file. on the next window check the boxes next to 'open file in avifile compatibility mode' and 're-derive keyframe flags'. This will scan the file for bad frames and may take a while if the file is large.

That should be “are you ON a pc?" I feel dumb asking someone if they’re a pc...

You unzip it, then you run avipreview.exe, then you just drag the file you’re trying to play on it.
