.avi files become veg

Why when I put two .avi files on the timeline to save as one .avi file does the resulting file come up as a project or veg file?
I added a new (rendered) intro to a long (rendered) project.
I'm hoping I don't have to re-render this to get an .avi.
Pardon my confusion.

a VEG file is the Project file. This file holds all of the edit instructions for the video/timeline/effects.

If you want to merge two AVI files, you will need to render to a NEW AVI file. The VEG file just tells the Vegas program what to do with the AVI files, it does not contain any video or audio.

Thanks Dave.
Hopefully this render won't take as long as the 27 hours that the first render from project file to .avi

Sherman, as long as you don't change any of the project settings, you should fly through this revised render once the intro is done.
