Or track down iSquint (it converts almost any video format, other than RealMedia, to a Quicktime/iTunes friendly MP4 file).
For the record, AVI is not really a video format...it's a container file. The audio and video streams contained within an AVI file can be encoded in any number of formats with any number of codecs. If you know that the AVI file has a video stream encoded in divx or xvid, then the divx codec should allow Quicktime to display the video, but not necessarily the audio. You'd think the audio would be the easy part, since Quicktime itself plays MP3 and AAC files, but it seems to be picky. I've found that it doesn't seem to like the combination of divx & mp3, but divx and aac is OK. Most of the time. I just got in the habit of dropping any video I get into iSquint. I've had maybe 2 or 3 that wouldn't convert (other than the aforementioned RealMedia limitation).
