OSStatus error -50

When opening a couple of my AVI files with quicktime i get the following error:

"The movie could not be opened. Operation could not be completed. (OSStatus error -50)."

I have Perian 1.0 installed which pretty much lets you run any type of media file on Quicktime. But i'm struggling with these two, and i'm not liking the error. Any one know what it's moaning about? I'm running leopard if thats of importance.

Oh and the files run fine in VLC and in WMP under parallels.
