.avi isn’t a format that plays nice with much. Your best bet is to transcode it using handbrake, turn it into a h.264 file, which is easier to work with and will be viewed by iMovie.
Make sure you get info on the file so you can keep the same information when converting/transcoding, so the file may be 1920x1080, 25fps, and with .aac audio, or something like that handbrake will let you match those values and just change the file format or codec..
Drop me a pm if you need to discuss more and we can chat over the phone..
