You can try playing the file with mplayer (www.mplayerhq.hu). With the codecs it can play just about everything, and if you start it on the command line it spits out a lot of useful diagnostics.

I also tried going the other way - I created an avi file on our lab  
workstation using ImageJ and then tried to open the file on my laptop  
using quicktime. The file will not open at all again. Very strange.
