Xvid Import

Question

Hi,
when i want to import a Xvid File in Encore CS 3, but i get this error message:
http://img166.imageshack.us/my.php?image=adobeencoreky9.png
The official Xvid codec is installed and in VLC everything works fine. In Adobe Encore CS 3 i get the Error: "Invalid Audio Stream", but i have made a stream copy of the video without the audio to see if this is right, but it isnt.
Cold the problem could be caused by the resolution of the video? it has a resolution of 528x384.
If it isnt possible to import the file into adobe programs, could you say me a programm that converts Xvid into mpeg2 in good quality? because convert the xvid file into uncompressed avi and then to mpeg2 is a bit too large for my hdd (dont have currently 64gb + mpeg2 files free space on my hdd)
SeeYa

You can convert the files using Avisynth, WAVI, Aften, and HC Encoder (all free software). Install Avisynth, and then make a text file like this:
>AVISource("xvid_filename.avi").LanczosResize(720,480).ConverttoYV12()
>ConvertAudioTo16Bit().SSRC(48000)
and save it with the .avs file extension. Use HC Encoder to encode the video stream from the avs file to a DVD legal MPEG-2 file. Use WAVI to feed the audio from the avs file to Aften's ac3 encoder. The Doom9 forum (www.doom9.org) would probably be a good place to go to get up to speed.
