never did fix it, despite trying lots of alternative codecs and options,
so who knows...? However, I did find an alternative which is an AVI
reader for ImageJ which lets me save everything out as individual
images, so it's one step extra but /relatively/ painless and if anyone
else is suffering with AVIs this is one way around.
With a bit of luck Ron's revised version will help troubleshoot it when
it's out.
