The title says it. When I try adding an Xvid encoded avi file to my project, it doesn't decode properly and I end up with a black screen alongwith a little blue haze and no sound, it seems. Is there a plugin or other solution for this?

XviD is not a good codec to use when editing, it's not designed to be used like that.

So the only solution to your problem is convert the XviD to another codec. I always convert to uncompressed avi format, that way I never have problems with the picture.

I good program to use is VirtualDub: VirtualDub
or you can find a lot of good programs here to use instead.
