Yes but were those other avi files divx or xvid?

It's not AVI that's the problem, its the encoding.

its encoded by DivX

open it up in vdub (/mod) and re-encode with huffy or lagarith. (assuming that you have the space)

this next part is just me being nit-picky. the word that you want to use is accept, not except.

For some reason this happens in vegas 6, works fine in 5 though, to work around it you can do this:
Change the 4CC codes in the AVI file header to:
Description code - DiVX3
FourCC code used - DiVX
for both xvid and divx encoded files.

or you can reencode to a non divx/xvid codec.
