Sorry for double post but forgot to add this:

This is also why I don't have alot of sources. I kinda just recently got into animes/amvs. Therfore I only have Samurai Champloo,DBZ, and very recently some zoids that I just couldn't pass up XD.

You'll also see that ALOT of editors on ehre don't use THAT wide of a variety of Animes. But just as there are those who do that there are also alot who seem to have a CRAPLOAD of anime. I, for one, Am not... lets say the most well of in the area of money, Therefore cannot obtain alot of anime.

It's not like we buy all this anime at one time...it takes years and years to get a significant collection, and I myself only just got into anime within the past seven or eight months. I have something like six or seven full series and maybe just as many movies/OVAs. It takes time :/

what file type is it?

if its avi, what codec is it? (you can find it by right clicking and choosing "properties" then go to the "summery tab" and tell me what it says next to compression, or get a program called gspot and drop and drag)

by clicking on the gspot banner in mah sig
alternatively, you could have used your favorite search engine...fairly easy search
somehow I have a feeling that it isn't really a .wmv

you didn't read the quick start guide that's on the exact page my sig links to?
just open the program, drag and drop your file into it and wait for the information to flow forth.

I don't believe there is really a "best" filetype for vegas

from the wikipedia article
Vegas is arguably the most format friendly NLE on the market reading and writing a very wide array of file formats and codecs - avi, mpeg 1/2/4, mp4, quicktime mov & QT, tiff, psd, targa, bmp, jpeg, png, mp3, wma, wav, aiff, rm, ogg, ac3, wav64 and pca. It can support all major codecs employing avi wrappers including divx, xvid and various YUV codecs with the proper directshow codecs installed. Vegas is also able to utilise all major Quicktime codecs. Beyond standard formats ...

There are some inaccuracies with that Wikipedia article, but Vegas is fairly flexible about input formats (which is good and bad).

As JaddziaDax mentioned, AVI files with intra-frame codecs like Lagarith or Huffyuv lossless compression, and Uncompressed AVI are the best to use for the highest possible quality and fewest problems. Other intra-frame codecs like DV or MJPEG are usable, but being lossy, you'll lose a bit of quality. For audio files, Uncompressed PCM WAV files are recommended. Downsides are that the files take up a large amount of hard drive space, which is why for distribution formats, lossy inter-frame codecs are used. http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/ ... deo3.htm#2

Although Vegas can accept lossy inter-frame codec formats (WMV, MPEG1/2, some MPEG4 variants like DivX, etc.), they aren't designed to be used in editing but for playback, you'll sacrifice frame accuracy and a bit of quality. To get XviD video into Vegas you need to change it's FourCC to DivX (DX50) otherwise Vegas won't recognize the video.
