DIVX files error

Hi guys,
when i try to pull a divx file (DVD ripped) into VV it hangs up, and i noticed that the data area in the audio track is much taller than the video data which -as i think- means that it loads the 5.1 surround data
How to avoid this by anyhow , even with any sound setting (5.1 or stereo)
is there any special codecs (the pc has divx 4.01 and divx 5.0)
thank you for your help

I could be very wrong, but I didn't think Vegas would accept Divx files.

Try upgrading to DivX 5.0.3. There were some known problems with 5.0.2 and earlier versions of the codec.

Looks like I was wrong--sorry.

So what's the draw to Divx? They claim to be the world's most popular video codec. I see no evidence of it!

DIVX is basically MPEG-4, supposed to be able to give you streaming DVD quality video. It has so far taken off for people ripping movies from DVD's and putting them on a CD but it hasn't really gotten further than that. I believe now there are some DVD players that will play the MPEG-4 or DIVX files. I don't think it's a dead format, but it isn't really used much for profession applications that I know of.
