What codec is the clip using? Does it work if you just double click the movie to see it?

Will it work if it's renamed back to .avi and played by AGS? In case it's not the stupid new OS trying to prevent you from accessing a file with some "unknown type".

Hey, adm244 :) nice to see you.

Does the path to game have cyrillic characters?
Does this game run well on any other computer/OS?

This is probably related to the codec. Have you installed ffdshow, for example (if not, don't!!)?

Ah. Right, I remember problem with ffdshow when playing "Marionette".
If it is installed, you may simply toggle it of at all, or specifically for this game.

Try to find it either in windows Programs menu. If you installed it as a part of some codecs pack (like K-Lite), search for K-Lite folder.

There should be a shortcut "Vide decoder configuration".
If you can't find it, it runs following command, which, I believe, you can simply copy to command line and execute:
C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe ffdshow.ax,configure

When config window is displayed, select "DirectShow" on the leftmost list.
There will be option to the right, like "Do not use ffdshow in:". Put a check there, and add your game's executable name to the list.
