Ok, give me the list again please. What codec of AVI do you need it converted to?
Not AVI, AVI is propritary and most of the codecs for it (including all of the good ones) are patented to hell and back.
The final target needs to be Ogg/Theora. ffmpeg2theora is a nice tool for taking other video formats and spitting out Theora. Your avi should be encoded as losslessly as possible, ideally YUV 4:2:2 (which most windows apps will read but most don't offer to let you write), RAW frames (which most windows apps will not read or write), or failing those options 20+mbit/sec MPEG2 (which, yes, you can encap in AVI).
If your toolchain doesn't support Ogg/Theora, feel free to send me an AVI (encoded as per above).
