Do you have the AVIVO utility from ATI installed? That is the system that can transcode video files, and it certainly should accept an .avi file.

I have used AVIVO to transcode from .avi to .mpg - specifically, MPEG4. But I have an older ATI card. One of the recent issues with ATI's driver and software package has been poor performance (including complete failure) on some transcoding work when the software uses the new graphics card as the hardware for the task, rather than using the CPU. Check out reviews of recent ATI driver packages to see if that it your problem.

I have exactly the same problem! tried at least 4 different formats including matroska and avi containers (divx and xvid) It just doesn't want to know!
