FWIW - I was able to convert your original avi into an mp4 file using
MeGUI and AviSynth on my Windows XP PC. The resulting mp4 is about
376 Kb (a bit larger than Mike's) but it plays in Quicktime - and
MeGUI and AviSynth are free!

It wasn't _exactly_ straightforward, but I figured it out in about a
half hour. Let me know if you want more details on the re-encoding.
