Upgrade to QuickTime Pro for $29.99
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/

Not only will it open and play AVI files (and a variety of others), you can also export it as a QT movie (and a variety of other formats). I use it all the time and it works well. It's the cheapest most efficient way to do it.

I'd go with a video player called VLC. Its free and plays damn near everything.

That green and any green dots or screwy video or audio is probably just in the file being played. I've watched bootleg movies that were pretty poor quality and had a bunch of hiccups in them with VLC while others played excellent.

yeah.... I've met that situation before.
Also I need to edit my avi, and I know iMovie will only absorb mov files..(is that right?).. Right now I desperately need a video converter..
I googled it, and lots of people recommend Aimersoft. I don't know if anyone knows it, and if do, could u tell me sth about it?
Thanks guys~
