"I might use those some day!!" YUP. Exactly like that. :D
I've never tried importing VOBs. MKVs don't work - that's the file type I get my footage from most of the time, and the main reason I use virtual files. But it imports the more common file types fine: avi, mp4, mov, etc.
Things can get tricky when you're running 64bit Vegas, which I am - it requires 64bit versions of most codecs to import certain file types (like avi), and it can be difficult to get hold of some of those. There's a workaround, although it probably won't work for future versions of Vegas.
Other than that, I've never had any codec or filetype related issues!
There's no way to use AviSynth scripts directly in Vegas like there is with Premiere, for example. But I do use scripts to create my virtual files, "dummy" avi files, which I then import into Vegas. Back when I used to save all my clips on my hard drive I opened the scripts in VirtualDub and clipped with that. :) I don't do anything fancy with AviSynth, though - I correct the colorspace and aspect ratio if needed, and combine audio and video, or all episodes of one season.
