Hi John,

I have a Mac Pro running OS X 10.4.10 with iMovie 6.0.3, QuickTime
Player 7.1.6 and ImageJ 1.38x. I used ImageJ to produce an AVI from
the MRI Stack sample, and was able to play it back with both iMovie
and QuickTime Player. An AVI produced with the Bio-Formats Exporter
plugin also worked.

You could try playing back the movies with other software, or on other
OSes (e.g., Windows Media Player). You might also want to try the
procedure with the MRI Stack, to see whether it is something about
your dataset (e.g., it could be a bug that manifests itself only for
images of certain resolutions).
