Just the audio shows on the time line. I dont believe it was doing this before, can someone explain why this might be accruing?

Also whern I open the propertys of the file under Video 1 it says 'Stream Offline'. The file will play fine in windows media.

Where did you get this avi? Did it work before? Avi is a 'container'. A codec was used to create it, and that codec is not on your pc, so vegas cannot open it.

I got the AVI from converting dvr-ms to it using Any Vid Converter. I then intalled the codec for xvid that windows said I needed to play it. It then played in Windows Media Player, but again no vid in VMS.

Vegas doesn't work well with xvid, which is a 'delivery codec' (=serves playback only, not edit).
