Sony Vegas 5.0b question

[abu_has_the_power]

is there a plug in or something that lets sony vegas use xvid avi's? so far, it only works with divx files, and if i want something from an xvid file, i have to convert, and it's annoying

[abu_has_the_power]

anyone?

nope. same problem. won't read xvid codecs

Nope Vegas doesn't read xvids.
I do have a copy of CinemaCraft Encoder that converts the format very nicely, allowing me to put the file straight into Sony's DVD Architect. CCE, however, doesn't handle 5.1 audio if it's in there, so it looks like I'll be learning how to use virtualdubmod for that.

so there's no plug in or anything? wat bout adobe premiere? i don't like the interface, but if it reads xvid, i'll try it
