I agree with Phoenix. I think you have a damaged video. I've run into the same problem. When I find a vid like that I also find I can't open it in Roxio MyDvd. I have two possible fixes.
1. Open the file in VirtualDub. If the file is a .avi, set both video and audio to Direct Stream Copy. Save the video with another name and see if that fixes it. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
2. If the tip above does not work, or if you have a .wmv file, try a full re-encode with VirtualDub. If you want to open a .wmv file in VirtualDub you will either need the .wmv plugin or DirectShowSource and AviSynth installed first. DirectShowSource is my preference as it seems to be able to open just about anything in VirtualDub.
When the file is open chose Full Processing Mode for both video and audio. Set your video compression to Xvid an adjust encode settings. Set audio compression to LAME MP3. Re-encode the vid to .avi, and you will probably find that it works.
