Two possibles:

If you reduce your Graphics Hardware
Acceleration as per the instructions in
the following article and realize an
improvement, it's an indication that you
need to update your video driver:

Hardware Acceleration Setting in Windows

And...you may have some incompatibility
issues with your source files. Have a look

Maybe it's a codec issue...the following
download will help you identify the codec.

GSpot

avi is just a wrapper, you need to use Gspot as John recommended or avicodec
is easy to use, to find out what sort of avi it is.
dv.avi will work
divx.avi, xvid.avi, mpeg.avi, mjpeg.avi rarely, if ever, do.
