I would suspect, that it is not a digikam problem, but
more a KDE one.
Isn't the programm which is connected with AVI's defined
on the KDE level?
See:
kcontrol:KDE Components: File Associations:video
There you should be able to make mplayer your first choice.

Do you have the same problem, if you try to watch the film from konquerer?
