an easy way to fix this problem is to convert the video, using a converter tool (i love ImTOO MPEG Encoder) but if it didn't work reed below.

this is a common problem that happens when you use cameras if you want to fix this problem you need a video plug-in that i don't remember it's name right now and you need to spend money on it so i well show you a free way that i use it too.

step 1 (getting programs you need ) :

you need virtualdub and ffdshow video decoder

get ffdshow here : http://mirror01.x264.nl/x264/ffdshow_rev...

get virtualdub here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/virtu...

you need some thing to set ffdshow options automaticly get it here :http://www.mediafire.com/?fvmdvgzxwzj

step 2 (installing programs): install ffdshow by choosing all the steps as default. for using virtualdub you don't need to install it . just extract it in a folder named "virtualdub" after all run ffdshow-MPEG-4 DivX.reg to set ffdshow configurations automaticall .

step 3 (using virtualdub) : drag your avi video in virtualdube . from video menu choose compression or simply press Ctrl+p . choose ffdshow from compression box and press ok . you have done ffdshow configuration automatically by runing ffdshow-MPEG-4 DivX.reg file, so you don't need to do it again. choose save as from file menu or press F7 button and save your file some where.

step 4 (ending): now you should be able to drag and import your video in to sony vegs . i'v set ffdshow compression options near Uncopmresd video so you should not have too much trouble whit quality . you can use sony vegas to compress it as much as you want

I hope i could help you my friend. i use the fallowing way too and it works.
