There are ways to do this. Probably the best solution would be to adapt the In-game Theora object resource for 1.3 into your project. You specifically mentioned .AVI files, but AVI support in TGE has tended to be problematic.
However, Theora is a free, open-source alternative to .AVI, WMV, etc. TGE already has built-in support for Theora video GUI elements, so it will be a much better starting point than .AVI or MPEG.
There is a nice command-line tool for converting .AVIs and .MPGs into OGG Theora video files for use in Torque. It's called ffmpeg2theora, and is a simple .EXE file with command-line options/switches/parameters available.
I hope that helps.
By the way, here's a link to that in-game Theora object resource . . .
