I think you are missing out the filename. shouldn't it read
"c:\mydocuments\myvideo\filename.avi"

Firstly we need to establish if the fault is in Movie Factory or in the AVI file itself. Can you open the "avi" file directly (ie away from Movie Factory) ?

AVI come in many "flavours" which too many may seem misleading.
What is the source of your AVI. It may be that you need to convert it to a DVD compliant format before you are able to use it.

Have you an editor program such as VideoStudio ?
