In AVI files, AAC audio tracks with ADTS packets are not supported by the underlying media decoding library (Microsoft Media Foundation). The files can easily be re-encoded to use a supported AAC layout that does not include ADTS. For example, with ffmpeg, it can be done this way: ffmpeg -i test.avi -codec:v copy -c:a aac test-fixed.avi

Reproduction steps:

Create a new project
Import attached “test.avi”
Observe the Console

Expected result: No errors in the Console
Actual result: Errors in the Console

Reproducible with: 2020.3.37f1, 2021.3.6f1, 2022.1.9f1, 2022.2.0b1, 2023.1.0a3

Reproduced on: Windows 10
