You could try to convert your video into another video format, such as into MP4, which would probably then be compatible.
A good, and free, utility I might recommend is Handbrake:

Good luck.
*edit
ok my fault ... it wasnt mp4 ... but is there any way to include other codec ? cuz its not really handy to convert all my videos again ...
1. The first thing you want to do is analyze the file to find exactly what codecs were used to put the file together. Lots of ways to do this, including Sony's free new Catalyst player. I'm sure VLC and handbrake could be used for something like this, too.
2. The second thing you want to do is find a codec combination encapsuled in an avi that the Movie editor works with.
3. Convert to a working file with the knowledge you now have.
thanks a lot
yes, there is a option, i can rerender ( w/ AVS video editor and Blender ) all my stuff but that takes forever !
i was hoping some thing like, i install a codec pack and movie studio can handle that avi file ...
Well, there are 'old-school' methods of this type of thing. The 'pro' players of Quicktime and DivX have unlocked codecs. It was a common thing to buy the pro version of Quicktime or DivX when you wanted to use their codec in your video editor.
There is, however, you can be generally assured that if your video only plays well on non-commercial players like VLC, you're probably in a bad spot.
There is some funny business with the codec and tools that I see sometimes. For example, at one point I noticed the video editor Camtasia using something from a Sony suite I had. Then when I hunted around the menu in the Sony suite, I found it using stuff from Camtasia. It's the whole 'sharing' idea... once tools and codecs are unlocked, any video/sound editor written to use another software's codec or tools will add it to their options or menus/submenus.
This 'sharing' ability does give the user a false impression of the software's capabilities. Mostly because it never says 'shared from' beside it(no credit given where it's due). So, someone using an Adobe Product with Sony Software also installed may think there are features that aren't really there. So should that person out of frustration uninstall all of their software except the few programs they run regularly, they might find themselves in a very unfortunate situation.
Without getting too technical, the AVI file format is what's called a file container or file wrapper; it isn't actually a video format at all, just a way to package other video formats. Movie Studio 13 Platinum - Steam Powered is easily able to open an AVI file wrapper. Issues can arise, however, when the wrapper contains unsupported or non-standard video information.
If you have an AVI file which won't import into Movie Studio 13 Platinum - Steam Powered, there are a couple of options already discussed in this thread:
I can open up Youcam (Cyberlink) avi's no problem as well as everything else.
I just started using Movie studio so any insight will help, thanks guys!.
Some options you may try are;
* Convert the source video (I often use something like the HandBrake utility, which works well and is free: https://handbrake.fr/ ), for example, convert it from AVI into MP4 format (if the video is already in MP4, running it through a convertor utility still may work though), then try the converted video with the Movie Maker software and hopfully it will be compatible then.
Or, if I recall correctly, and as you mention about you use Litecam HD, I think that has an option to convert a video (you can access from the Preview mode) it makes from avi over into mp4 format (though I'm not sure if the Litecam convertor would make an mp4 compatible with the Movie Maker software - worth a try though).
* Find and install codecs which may help resolve the issue, but this is a hit-or-miss; installing codec packs might work, but then again it might not. If you want to give that a try, I might suggest to download and install the basic K-lite codec pack from here:
http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm
* Experiment with using different output settings / options with your recording software. This may or may not work though.
* Use a different recording software that will (hopefully) make videos compatible with the Movie Maker software.
Good luck. :)
