Analyse the .avi file with VideoSpec (I prefer that, though it hasn't been updated since 11/2009), MediaInfo Mac (10/2010) or MediaInfo (10/2010, there is a Mac OS X version to download, VideoSpec and MediaInfo Mac are using the same library as MediaInfo) and report back.
What about playing .avi files via Movist or VLC Player?

Looks okay, but I don't use QT Player to play most of my media.
I use Movist, which has a much better handling of video files.

You could try installing the Divx codec, if you insist on using QT Player.

Movist uses the QuickTime frameworks [and FFmpeg]. So, yes, you are using the part of QuickTime that matters. I agree with the recommendation to install DivX. I also strongly recommend that he install the Perian and Flip4Mac codecs.
