I’m not sure how you can confuse a 640×480 .MOV file with a 720×480 .AVI file, but things get even more strange.
720×480 is an NTSC resolution but 25 fps is a PAL frame rate.
From the information you provided I recommend you create a new project using a PAL DV preset, but change the preset options to “Desktop”, change the resolution and pixel aspect ratio to 720×480 and “0.9” respectively. Now import the clip into this project.
