First of all download virtualdub from www.sourceforge.com
You will also need a divx codec, if you don't have one I suggest
nimo codec pack it can be found at www.divx-digest.com and do a full
install of it
If you already have a divx codec you may need divfix which is included
in the nimo codec pack along with many other nice tools...if you don't
wanna get the pack you can get divfix at www.divx-digest.com
Now that you have all your tools you can go to work
1. run divfix, open the AVI that you are having trouble with and click
rebuild index, when it finishes you can close divfix
2. try playing the movie in windows media player (wmp) again
3. if it still doesn't have any video, open virtualdub
4. Now click file>open video file, and choose your troubled file
5. then go to video and choose direct stream copy
6. under audio, direct stream coopy should be selected if it isn't
choose it
7. now go to file>save avi and choose the name and location of where
you want to store the file
8. now it'll take up to 5 minutes or so to reencode, if you want to
still do things with your computer change it from normal to idle
priority in the status window
9. once it's done encoding, locate the avi you just made and play it
with wmp
P.S. I have had 100% success using this. I hope you have the same luck
