It is almost certainly to do with not having the correct codec.

@Whity You should add the contents of your comment into your answer - I suspect that would earn you some upvotes.

You probably have a corrupt video file. This would explain why players close when trying to decode it.</p>

What is the resolution ? AVI can support arbitrary sized (dimension) video, but many codecs and players do not.

Not enough info. Try getting a copy of the GSpot Codec Information program (google it) and report back here what it says about the file.
