A .avi is a container and inside it can be video data encoded in a variety of codecs.

A DV file is often found in a .avi, but it may be divx or xvid.

Use a program called 'g spot' to find waht codec is used and then install it after googling.

M-jpeg is a codec but m-jpeg is a rarely used and outdated means of compression.
