Knowledge Sharing:

AVI (Audio-Video Interleave) is a container introduced by Microsoft. Motion JPEG is a type of AVI compression. While AVI in general is ubiquitous for standard definition video content on the Internet, there's no indication Apple is supporting the specific XviD/DivX codec (encoding/decoding) used by those AVI files, so you need to convert AVI to iMovie, or Play AVI with QuickTime on Mac or convert AVI to a format which Apple supports.
