In addition to what others have said about having to download the entire file before it will play, AVI embeds require smart OBJECT tag switching if you want to target more than just Windows. You need to embed the Windows Media Player or Quicktime object (maybe Realplayer if the system detects it), but you wouldn't want to do both/all.
Google can expend time to do player embeds, but for regular folk, it's usually not worth the trouble, unless you know most/all of your surfers are Windows users, or if you use a different embedding for non-Windows.
