Problem working with AVIs in VV

I have about 22 AVIs that I would like to burn to DVD. The problem is, only the audio shows up, and it doesn't even that doesn't work properly. No video gets displayed.

The specs of the clips are as follows:
Width - 640
Height - 368
Bit Rate - 131kbps
Audio Format - MPEG Layer 3
Frame Rate - 23 Frames/Second
Data rate 189kbps
Video Sample Size - 16 bit
Video compression xvid

Any idea how to burn this onto dvd? I was hoping to use VV and then go to DVD Architect and input chapters from there...

Will it work? Will it fit onto one dvd?

Thanks guys!

Do you have the Xvid codec on your computer?

OK, I downloaded the xvid codec from here:

Problem is, I can get the video to display in VV, but no audio at all (Just a flatline in VV).

Any suggestions folks??

The audio is probably VBR MP3. Vegas doesn't like VBR MP3 audio in an AVI file. You'll have to convert the audio to LPCM with VirtualDub.

Open your XviD files in VirtualDub.
Video menu -> Direct stream copy.
Audio menu -> Full processing mode.
File menu -> Save As AVI...

This only changes the VBR MP3 audio to uncompressed LPCM so it's fast, but try it with one XviD file first to see if it now works in Vegas.
