	Glad to be of service, dep!

	I seem to recall having some trouble with it before, but you might try:

	http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/

	Alternately, if you have access to the Mac you were testing this on,  
I have good luck with getting the AVI to work with:

	http://www.perian.org/

	Which will add various video support codecs to QuickTime -- even  
Flash video! These can then be imported/exported using QuickTime Pro.  
Finally, on Mac or Windows, check out:

	MPEG StreamClip works really well for me.
