what kinds of files are you using?

avi which makes it even more weird..

what codec are the avi files?

to get codec information right-click on the video file, and choose "properties" and click the tab that says "summery" it should be listed next to compression and if that doesnt work, get a program called GSpot and drop the file in it

be sure to click the banner so you can see how to fix it

its pretty much the same with mkv, either you are going to have to convert it or use the DVDs and follow the guides

use either uncompressed or huffyuv or lagarith for the codec instead... xvid is good for distribution but not for editing...

though all three of those compressions produce large files you might want to take only parts
