    Presumably a wrong codec. It should be MS-DV avi type 2.

    Do you have Premiere Pro 2.0 or higher? Are you trying to use AC3 audio which is not supported without a workaround?

    Does anyone know if there is a way to import MPEG2 into premiere CS3 so I don’t need to convert the file at all ?

    Two questions:
    1. do you have the tryout version?
    2. is the avi you are trying to import divx or a similar format?
