Vegas 8 Trouble

I'm sorry if this type of thread has been posted before but I cannot seem to find any kind of information regarding this. Recently I've been having the urge to stop making gaming frag videos and make AMVs, after watching a few good ones; with a year (and maybe more) of Vegas 8, Particle illusion, After Effects in my hands I thought I could try some out for myself; however whenever I attempt to start editing I face a problem in which I have to convert my .mkv files into any other recognized file for Vegas 8, such as .avi. However after doing so and converting to .avi file, my Sony Vegas 8 will not recognize my video, however the audio works perfectly. In other words when I drag in a file into my Vegas 8 editing window/timeline, all I get is a layer for audio in which resides the sound from the anime episode I wanted to cut a bit and edit for a part in my AMV. Is there any solution to this? I've looked all over google.

Convert those .mkvs to a .avi in a lagarith or HuffyUV codec. The problem right now, is that those files are DivX/XviD, and editing programs dont like those codecs. Since I'm too lazy to find links... Download AMVApp, and use VDubMod to convert.
Oh, and next time, buy the DVDs.

And I'm sure someone else will give you those links.

Download the AMVapp here. And for more information on the DivX/XviD matter, you might want to read this.

The only thing however that installed successfully is the DVD Decrypter, is that proper?
