This avi came into my possession because it could not be read on any other
machine than the one it was created on, and that being a windows machine. 
I was able to run it in mplayer on my Linux box and do some conversions
and stuff with mencoder and transcode.  Originally the request was to
convert it to an mpeg1 video, but when I do so, if I include the sound I
cannot get it to again, play on any other OS.

I heard they ultimately wanted to put this in a flash so figured why not
avi2swf; and thus where we are today.  Really funky, but thanks for
looking into it.
