This has to do with how Windows XP previews files when opened with Explorer.
Suggestions:
1. Disable thumbnail view by going to Start/Run/CMD: regsvr32 /u
shmedia.dll
2. And/or run this edit. This edit prevents high usage when browsing AVI
files.
Automated:

Manual Edit: Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to the key below and
delete the default data (right pane).
Or:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.avi\shellex\PropertyHandler
