I don't really know how VLC works but it's... special [it's able to play partial files and it even found parts of movies in an iso image I had (I suppose the image had been filled with junk somehow) ]
regular players usually won't be able to play corrupted files. gspot can tell you whether an avi file is valid or corrupted (I can't remember right now if it's able to check other formats).
You can have a go with divfix or virtualDubMod to try and repair corrupted files.
P.S. and even if your files are not corrupted, gspot might bring in useful info ;)
