I don't know if it's even remotely helpful (and apologies as this reply is stuffed with non-ASCII characters), but if I fetch your video over a raw connection I see:

whereas if I "head" a standard AVI from a camera, I see:

It looks like some encoding or serving issue (not least excepting the "junk data" stuff in your header), but the presence of lots of @^ reminds me of UTF-8 encoding, whereas an AVI should probably be raw bytes.
Not really an answer, but it may give a clue :-)
