The only time I have experienced something like that is when the DV-AVI was created in Windows Movie Maker, an obsolete, noncompliant software.

To help you further, please follow these instructions exactly; you may need to transcode the files.

There are several different DV-AVI codecs and three or more avi file formats. Some codecs were provided by old DV hardware vendors for their equipment. Mediainfo might help identify that and help locate the right codecs. If you're lucky you can find one that is updated to work in your version of Windows, and allow Vegas to use them directly. Transcoding is not always going to work if the codec used has not been implemented in modern transcoding s/w. (I went through this just days ago for Canopus DV files from the year 2000.)

This explains the reason why I can't import some AVI files into VEGAS Pro. Anyway, thanks.
