You load an AVI into Lightwave using the image editor (simply select 'All Files' as the file filter in the file browser.
To display it as a backdrop, simply open the compositing panel and select the AVI sequence as the background image.
Be warned though that the frame slider will seriously chug - I've just tried it with a short 1200x600 widescreen AVI in a blank scene and updates are taking around .5 to 1 second per frame on my Athlon XP1900+ w/512MB Ram)
