One problem is that it is encoded with Xvid. Premiere does not like it so that may be one part of the problem. Try re-encoding it with another codec like Lagarith or Huffyuv... or if you have the space, Uncompressed.

Actually, there is, but there are some trade-offs involved and I don't recommend doing this alternate method. I'll just mention that it involves AviSynth.

And it often doesn't work: hence the "not really" instead of just the "no."

Ah, it's like the answer to the question: "Can I drive my truck from Cuba to Florida?"
