Probably the frame rate is too slow for Sage to see it as a video. (just guessing) The other thing to check is avi is just a wrapper. What is the true format of the raw video?

All I know about the format is what the screen grab showed, plus:

1) Windows Media Player displays it correctly
2) Apple's player takes it
3) It probably typical of videos clips from today's pocket cameras and I sure wish I could view those in Sage rather than one of the above.

to see what codec an AVI uses, use the gspot file analysis program:
http://www.headbands.com/gspot/

It can also test to see if a file is playable.

Also, look at the detailed info in Sage (or the webserver) to see the detailed file format information

(I have 15fps MJPEG/PCM files possibly similar to this that play OK in sage, as long as it is not in FSE mode -- never quite figured why. from detailed info my files are: AVI[MJPEG 320x240@15fps, PCM_U8/88Kbps@11kHz])

EDIT: Sorry, I lied: in 6.1 they played OK so long as I was not in FSE...
In 6.2 they don't play at all unless I disable FSE and manually switch video renderer to Overlay...
