Use Quicktime 4 to open it, if you don't
have the 'decompressor' to QT4 for AVI
then use the file 'Quicktime Updater' in
the folder 'Quicktime' to get that.
If you of any reason can't use QT4 then
use Microsoft Mediaplayer (for mac) to
open it. You can get it at
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/ and then
search on 'mediaplayer'.

Hope this helps!
