the short version

"This problem occurs when Media Player cannot find the Gdicod97.drv file in
the Windows\System folder. The Camcorder Gdicod97.drv file contains the
information (called codec information) that allows another program to
decipher the .avi file. "

Still looking for the gdicod97.drv / .exe file.

Good luck
If you find the fix please tell me were to get it.
Thanks
