Error: Unable to determine the codec required of .avi files

I am using MatLab R2017a. I have to run .avi files. When I use the command VideoFileReader, it shows error.

Error using dspmmfileinfo>tryVideoReader (line 305)
Unable to determine the codec required. The specified file is:
C:\Users\abc\Documents\MATLAB\ADCSF-master111\ADCSF-master\ADCSF-master\Te36.avi

Error in dspmmfileinfo>getFileInfo (line 164)
                    videoWidthInPixels,videoHeightInPixels,videoFormatName] = tryVideoReader(theFile);

Error in dspmmfileinfo (line 40)
            cache.fileInfo(index) = {getFileInfo(filename)};

My .avi files are running using the VLC media player on windows 10. Kindly guide me how do I proceed.
