Dude, it's simple.

wmv is a crappy movie format, specially for editing. It was made as a quick, short format to stream videos over internet, not for editing.

To edit in Premiere, you have many options of source, but wmv is not one of them. It all depends on what footage you are using. For DVDs, you should read the almighty EADFAG (Look for the "How-to Guides" tab in the main page).

If all you have is this wmv file, you should find some way to transform it into a HuffYUV or uncompressed .avi. Don't ask me about it, though. And be warned the final quality of your video will not be very pretty...

You can open WMV files via AviSynth and convert them to other formats in VirtualDubMod. Use

Code: Select all

DirectShowSource("myclip.avi",fps=xx.xx)

But as 7sigma said, the quality will probably suck.
