The XviD codec can be found here, but you shouldn't be editing with XviD (Huffyuv, Lagarith, or mjpegs are better). Some of the frames in XviD video need the information contained in a previous frame, and if you edit that frame away then the footage can become difficult to work with.

Also, XviD source usually means fansubs, and that isn't good for quality. Buy the DVDs, support the industry that provides you with source. The majority of the time, they provide the best footage quality.

For the quality, its somehow a dvd quality.. Without the Xvid, how can i open these files?

if you have a fansub, i assure you it's not dvd quality. may look like it to the untrained eye though.
solution: buy dvds.

I am a beginner

, its better to practice with what's in my hands, then apply it to the original.. Those files are an avi files, is there any other way to open them other than that?

it was already mentioned - convert the clips you want the lagarith or huffyuv lossless codecs.

*facepalm*

In general, renaming file extensions just to get certain programs to accept them is only asking for trouble later on.

Here's a step-by-step guide:

Ignore the AVISynth part; just load your AVI files into VDubMod instead. The process of actually compressing the clips with HuffYUV/Lagarith will still be the same.

Really? I got the dvd's but their copy protected! I am not into decieveing copy protection, so i use fansubs. yeah, Premeir is not always happy with Xvid and stuff. I find it works perfect with Divx however
