DivX movies not editable in Vegas 6.0c?

[snapware]

Hi,

I saved some DivX files using VirtualDub & Divx 6 encoder, and for some reason when I try to import it into VegasVideo only the audio track appears in the timeline, any ideas or suggestions?

The divx files play fine in other video players.

output as huffyuv or dv-avi in virtualdub instead.

Vegas requires a bit more from codecs -- it has to do with colorspace. There were a couple of threads on this as pointed out, so follow Baldrick's link & also search.

Thankkkkkk youuuuuuuuuu

Looks like HuffyUV files are being read fine in Vegas, but now i have a file size problem. I'm working with a 3 minute music video that is about 150mb, after opening in VirtualDub and using huffyuv to save the new .avi file it is coming out 1-2gigs large, i know this has probably been discussed, but i couldn't find it in the the forum, which settings are best with huffuv so that i can keep the size around the original?

i basically just want to maintain the quality and keep the size around the original. I don't want to lose quality though cause i need the video for broadcast.

I would also like to add, if i try to select direct stream copy, and then save the video file, i get an error message

so that doesn't appear to be an option
