There is an ffdshow codec that will work perfectly in premeir and any other video editor. Its not a lossless type but i can make good quality.
I can give you a little guide for it if you want

Here we go!

Important!
Do not use any other version of this codec besides the one in ffdshow
there are multiple other versions that can screw up your video very badly!
If you have any other versions of this codec i reccomend uninstalling them because they are pretty much useless.

Im too lazy t rip a dvd now so im just gonna use
this music video made by SenshiMamaru

First go in virtualdub and open the video

go to compression and select the ffdshow video codec

When you see the list of codecs select the "MS MPEG V2" (Yeah i said it!)
Important!
For mode select "one pass- quality"
For quality select 99 or 100
Make sure you set Max I frame interval and minumum I frame Interval at 1
That will make every frame a key frame
Like show here

After you set it click okay then save your video with it.
these settings will make large files too but nothing like an uncompressed codec.

Here is a clip from the original xvid version of his video

And here is the clip encoded in MS-MPEG V2 (ffdswow version!)
http://download.yousendit.com/C137575E16D87789

You should be able to take that second clip and load it in your video editor without any problems.
A whole episode in this codec would probally be between 1 and 2 GB depending on the quality of the original file
Sometimes it could get larger

You can also load the video through Avisynth.
I haven't tried it but i see alot of people sugest using that method
Those 2 options are your best choice if you can use a lossless codec.

Hey all, i've been having a similar problem - trying to open a naruto ep since i can't find a dvd with some of the later eps on it - problem is - i'm told that Vdub requires a VfW codec to decompress the file. I am a little confused as I've already extracted some of the fansubs. any suggestions?

thanks in advance - gomen for my newbi-ness

That means there is a codec you need thats not installed.
Whats the full message it say when you try to open the file?
It usually mentions the codec's name.
You could try installing ffdshow codec that helped another person with a similar problem.

it doesnt give a codec name specifically, here's what i'm seeing:

Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'XVID' (unknown).
VirtualDub requires a Video for Windows (VFW) compatible codec to decompress video. DrectShow codecs, such as those used by Windows Media Player, are not suitable. Only 'Direct stream copy' is available for this video.

Sorry to be a hassle, I appreciate your willingness to help!
