Hi melve10 -- welcome to the forums!
Unfortunately, there is a huge variety of video formats which use the extension .avi For example, raw or uncompressed .avi is huge -- it takes about 65 GB of hard disk space just for 1 hour of video. DV/AVI from mini DV video cameras is more compressed and takes about 13 GB per hour. At the other end of the spectrum are very highly compressed mpeg-4 formats like DivX and XVid which produce quite small files (700 MB per hour of high quality video). These also call themselves .avi
In other words, we have no idea of what kind of .avi you are having difficulty with. So in VS11.5+, right click on one of the problem files either in the timeline or in the Library window, and copy down ALL its properties here please. That way, someone might be able to offer some sensible advice...

Do you know whether you have any version of DivX on your computer? If so, is it the Pro or community (i.e. free) version? I see that the video clip was done with the latest version of the DivX codec and it could be that you might need to upgrade any DivX codec you have on your computer with the latest version (available on divx.com )
In addition, t has become almost a mantra with me over the past couple of months to suggest people first go to the Microsoft DirectX website and download the latest update patch. The current one is dated March 2008 and can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en
Note that it updates both DirectX 9.0c (XP) and 10 (Vista). The number of your DirectX installation will not change, but the patch gives extra functionality in a number of areas and corrects other faults in VS11 in particular which do appear linked to Windows updates.
