Are you sure thats a premiere problem...or can you open them at all...then it could possibly be that you just dont have the right codec (most likely a divx version codec)

Why the heck was this thread moved to General AMV? This should be in Video Software Help, unless you're trying to invite flames upon this guy.

You have to uncheck "authorize website..." in the Windows Media Player settings (sorry I have the french version).

Anyway Premiere can't handle AVI files properly... You should transform them into MPEG-1 using TMPGEnc first.

You mean it cant handle DIVX properly.

BTW, mpeg1 isnt frame accurate even in premiere.

Yep, DivX, sorry ^_^.

I've noticed a framerate problem with MPEG-1 in Premiere, but thought it was my encoding...

It should be able to import then atleast tho....


If he can play them in media player but not Premiere maybe he has a direct show filter instead of actual VfW codecs.


Either way if they are DivX, your best bet would be to convert them to something else.

I hope they aren't WMV's or ASF's listed as AVI's. =P Those won't import.

I've only gotten that problem when I tried using .avis using that god damn Microsoft Mpeg-4 V2 codec, but since it's that codec I have no idea how to convert it to something decent.

Actually, if you look at the top, its IN the video software help forum, WHY it's still in general AMV as WELL is beyond me, must be one of those horrible PHPBB quirks.

Postby TeTsuO ShImA » Thu Aug 22, 2002 1:49 am

I'm sorry its not in another forum topic but i'm new to making amvs, I can play them with quicktime, windows meda player and real player so i know i have the right codex. But from what i gathered I should convert them into another format, like mpeg, does anyone have any suggestions as to a good program to convert them would be? And if so what kind of format should i convert them to? Again i'm sorry this isn't in another forum topic but like i said be4 i'm new to amvs and all kinds of help would be apreciated. Thanks in advance.

Use VirtualDub and convert them to HuffYUV. Best way if you have enough place on your HD.
