Hiya,

I've spent the last couple of days trying to figure out whats wrong, reading guides, searching forums, hounding google, etc. Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

My goal is to take a few 2minute~ clips from some DVDs I own, compress them down to around 60mb each, and arrange them between alternating slides of text in a PowerPoint presentation.

So far I've been able to stumble through ripping the parts I want with gordianknot, trimming and compressing to divx with VirtualDub.

I've used Fraps, Premiere, and VegasVideo in the past to capture game footage and edit it without any problems. When I open the avi's fraps captures in Vegas, they show up good to go, with a video and audio track.

My Problem: When I load the video clips I've ripped in Vegas, they show up as "offline media" and I cant drag them onto a timeline to edit. Why? How should I be doing differently?

Let me know if theres some specifics I should post if that would help.

Thanks!
