Problem with AVI file

Hi all,

Ever since switched over to my Mac, I haven't been able to play an AVI file that I transferred over from my PC. It's a 271MB 3 minute long short video I created in college using Adobe Premiere (about 5 years ago). My computer can play other AVI files w/out problem. Is there some kind of comprehensive codec package I can download that might be able to help? I've tried using both Quicktime and VLC to open the file and neither work. The audio comes up but the video is nowhere to be seen. Also, in Finder, the preview shows up empty. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Dan
