No, you don't see much detail in the .avi. It's all in the processing.
I used to use my 12.5mm or 20mm ep, and a barlow lense. Use optical zoom only, not digital. Get the planet in the field of view, focus using the telescope, not the camera. Set the camera for say 25 frames per second. Shoot for approx 10 - 20 secs. Open the .avi in Registax, deselect the bad frames, you only want to stack the best of the best. Let Registax do it's thing, and in a few minutes you should have a not too shabby image of Jupiter. It takes time and plenty of patience to get the hang of this method, but it's worth it. You'll be learning skills that will be invaluable down the track.
