You must be using epiodes encoded in divx or xvid
Most editing programs don't do well with those.
Even if you make every frame a key frame (i tried that before)
you will still have problems.
Its best to convert your clips to codecs like Huffyuv

I can't even get the video to show up period, so I can't keyframe each frame.

Thats what happens when you use xvid or divx footage.
Sometimes it will work then other times it wont.
You need to use Huffyuv or something that works similar.

What Moonie meant was to re-encode your video with XviD/DivX such that each frame is a keyframe (or I-frame) BEFORE importing it into Vegas. But as she (?) said, that's not an optimal solution anyway.

DON'T USE DIVX/XVID FILES FOR EDITING
make clips using virtualdub(/mod) and save them with a lossless codec like Huffyuv. Lagarith is even better (but has been known to not work from time to time

Scintilla, thank you for the link.

That is the thing I am trying to avoid having to do. It takes up too much space on my harddrive and I can't get my program (Riverpast) to convert completely, it keeps leaving bits out as just black spaces.

Do you have the Fddshow video codec? There is a codec that comes with that that will work. Its not a lossless like huffy though..

[Tsukasa-chan01]

No, don't have that one. But will that allow me to use the video in vegas?

The thing I am trying to do here is to get video into vegas without having to convert or re-render it or anything like that. I want to just be able to drag and drop it. Everything else creates too many potentials for quality loss / being too big for my harddrive etc.

Yeah, it will allow you to use your video in vegas but you still will have to re-encode it with another codec. I suggested that because you said you were trying to avoid the large files that huffy make.
No matter what you do you will have to re-encode the footage you have now because like i said before divx and xvid don't work well in editing programs
