get(video1)
nFrames = video1.NumberOfFrames;
vidHeight = video1.Height;
vidWidth = video1.Width;
% Preallocate movie structure.
mov(1:nFrames) = ...
struct('cdata', zeros(vidHeight, vidWidth, 3, 'uint8'),...

The .avi has been encoded with a codec that your system does not currently have.
If you are running the 64 bit version of MATLAB, then there are some codec (Indeo5 is one) that will never be supported on the 64 bit version (this is a decision by the codec manufacturers, not by MathWorks.)
You should be able to find information about the codec that was used by using aviinfo()

R2011b or later is needed to support H.264 and MPEG-4.
You might be able to use the following work-around:
