There is quite a bit of info on this file,

msvidc32.dll


They say for the most that this is a virus.

Although it is a legit Microsoft codec.

I do believe it falls in to the same category as the " WMV missing codec or WMA missing codec" trip with Windows.
It usually says it needs a special player.

Try the avi file on a windows based player or try and play it with VLC.
If VLC cant play it then it is a problem file, more that likely a virus or spyware
