Huge lag with Vegas 7

Well I pop in a DVD and rip it with DVD Decrypter. It saves the files as an MPEG. When I go into Vegas and use the "explorer" tab I find my files (hurray!). Well this is where it ALL starts. When I either left click or right click the files I get HORRIBLE lag. It is so bad that the right click doesn't even bring up options or select the file. So every time I want to edit something I ripped from a DVD (whether I use DVD Decrypter or I use DVD Shrink and get VOB files) I have to go to the file outside of Vegas then right click and open it in Vegas that way (which STILL takes a ridiculous time to load). So my question is...
Why is it so slow(lagging), and how do I fix this? (please do not suggest using another editing program unless it is the absolute only thing you can think of)

I don't think its the actual rippers considering 2 different ones are creating 2 different files. Is it just Vegas being weird or is it my comp? If it helps the codecs I have installed are DivX and K-Lite, and I can load AVIs(and lower) with no problems at all.

editing Directly with the Vob files will lag it badly,
Use the Mjpg method found here for no lag, or just edit with Huffy files(which haven't lagged much for me in the past at all)[/url]

Thanks for the quick response. I will try this, and then go from there
