I think there's no choice but to install Silverlight. I don't want
it on my main machine since MS is such a huge target for malware, so
I'll put it on a clone in VBox or VMware later when I have some
time.

After recombining the files with a small utility called "HJSplit" I found
the resulting avi file to open and play both sound and video in Windows
Media Player 10, although there is, as you say, quite a long blank run in at
the beginning.
However, I have noticed that the avi file format does seem to be
continually evolving, in that I've quite often been informed that media player
couldn't open a recently downloaded avi file unless I installed yet another new
or revised codec.
To find it playing the audio but not the video under such circumstances was
not unusual.
I seem to recall this happened even more frequently when I was using Media
Player 9 so perhaps this might be at least part of the cause of your
problems.
