copypasta from another thread

first, the obligatory "you should be using dvds for footage"
yeah, use dvds (when there actually are dvds)

next,
(that's a link, you should read it)
same thing applies for .mp4 files

to make clips work, read the new eadfag
the amvapp v3 has everything that you'll need to re-encode your footage.
Yes, the amvapp tests will fail (since you're using vista)...just ignore it and continue on as if nothing had happened

last, but not least
losslessly encoded video footage (with something like huffyuv or lagarith) is hueg liek xbox (~1GB for 3 minutes of video IIRC)
to work around the large filesizes, it is recommended that you make lossless clips instead of encoding entire episodes

open the video file in virtualdub mod go to video->compression->Huffyuv
then go to file->save

Ways of saving file space

use those buttons to mark the beginning and the end of the "clips" you want to use so you can save file space.

also go to streams->streams list->disable stream to disable the audio and save even more file space.

You know, we DO have an annoying flashing banner specifically for Vegas...



That is, of course, assuming the .AVI files about which the OP is talking are in fact encoded with XviD/DivX and not with something lossless.
