We have had a few reports of AVI video playback in Windows 8 not working on the first attempt (a black screen is displayed) but then working in subsequent tests, specifically the clock.avi file that used to be included with Windows.
We have confirmed this on the developer preview of Win8, the very first run will display a black screen, any subsequent attempts will work as expected (even after rebooting).
We're not sure why this is happening and at this stage currently believe it to be a windows bug.
