50 frames per second seems a bit much for video file, especially one at 720p.

First I would get a tool like media info: http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en

I use it and it helps determine exactly what format the audio and video streams are. Just because a file has a .AVI extention doesn't determine the format of the video stream. It will also give you links to websites for codecs or players.

Also, some older computers have trouble playing HD content if they have an old single-core processor. What are your computer specs? That is not likely to be the problem though, if your computer was slow then it would play the movie slow... instead of not at all.
