try running it outside PHP and see what happens, i.e. command line.

if that fails, then post a link to your avi file. perhaps it is corrupt? otherwise, some one may be able to try it and see what might be at issue.

your video displays fine in Quicktime, but

convert -delay 10 cat.avi -loop 0 cat.gif
convert: no decode delegate for this image format `cat.avi' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/532.
convert: missing an image filename `cat.gif' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2922.

This tells me I don't have some needed windows delegate library to decode .avi files. I am not sure what I need for that, possibly wmf, which I did not include in my install.

my compile was set to use

--without-wmf
disable WMF support.

Perhaps a windows user can help test your file.

thanks fmw42 for the try, could be a good thought, I am running a linux server and not a windows. would this be the problem?

what is your ./configuration (how did you install === from binary or source). In either case you may need to 1) upgrade (what version are you on) or 2) enable wmf or some other delegate for avi files. The fact that you get not enough data, seems to me to be some error in your compile as the rest of us get no decode delegate for avi. Try upgrading IM if you are not using something close to the current IM at 6.5.9.1

$width = "100";
$height = "100";
$destinationFile = "output.png";
// Displays the output size of the new image

try

convert -list configure

and send that back. It should tell what you might have installed via your configuration file.

unfortunately it does not say anything about avi or wmf which may or may not be significant.

Best I can suggest is upgrade to a more current version of IM. you are at 6.3.9 and IM is at 6.5.9.1 (so you are about 200 versions behind).
