The avi format is not good for streaming video...
The bit rate is way too high.
Have a look here and see if that helps..

To see streaming video in action here is a demo...
http://www.xmas-i-am.com/test/video.htm
This has a bit rate of 103 kbps
That means that you will not see the video on a 56 kbps connection until
it
downloads most of it.
But if you have high speed connection it will start when the page loads.
The demo page uses the Insert | Web component
Then "Plug In" from the right list. Then "Finish" Button
Then OK.
The actual video file is "salmon.asf" (ASF Advanced Streaming Format)
The asx file is kind of like a play list....
Hope this might help some.
