Hi Burt,

If you haven't already, you might try using the Bio-Formats plugin for
ImageJ (http://loci.wisc.edu/bio-formats/imagej) to read your AVI file.
If that doesn't work, we would be happy to fix the problem in
Bio-Formats provided that you can send one of the non-working files.

Regards,
-Melissa
