AVI files in Vista won't play

So, when I try opening any uncompressed AVI files captured on Vista... it looks like they're one frame long.. just a picture.. what the heck... other times I get the dreaded error message
This is from back in February...
A post from VirtualDub confirms the bug: "I ran test the test application and can confirm that this bug occurs in Windows Vista RTM. Essentially, every program that uses the Microsoft AVIFile APIs (avifil32.dll) to generate AVI files will produce them with a malformed RIFF structure!" http://www.virtualdub.org/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=145
