AVI files not working in Sony Vegas

[DarkPhoenix22]

And I don't mean just Xvid stuff either. I've tried a number of codecs, and EVERY SINGLE FILE I tried with an .avi extension wouldn't work. The video track didn't appear, only the audio. The only AVI files I can get to work are the uncompressed videos I've exported from Vegas.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?

That's real strange, all I need for every Avi to work is the xvid codec pretty much and FFDShow MPEG-4 Video Decoder. If you haven't tried the FDDshow Decoder I recommend trying it. This makes every file go into vegas pretty much even the Avi's encoded in the h.264 codec. If that doesn't work then I don't know

I've tried ffdshow as well, that didn't work. I tried coverting the files to another format, but that made the quality go bad. Like, REALLY bad. T_T

Well the only solution I can think of is to just import the episodes you want to edit into Virtual dub and basically bracket off the parts of the episode you need and export that as a lossless huffy.The plus side is no lag.

Yeah, I've tried lagarith and huffy. I'll try reinstalling the codecs, though. =P

I'm sorry I can't be of any use I really have no idea what else you can do.
