  unsupported compression in file

  Posted by Emmet Reddy on January 7, 2011 at 8:11 am

  Hi im using Premiere CS4 when i try to import a file i get unsupported compression in file. The File is an .avi file which uses DivX 6 compression. It was created on a pc and sent to me and im on a mac. I have downloaded and installed Divx on my system but im still getting the same error message.
  Any Ideas guys? Thanks Emmet

  Are you able to view the file directly in QuickTime? (Not the Divx Player.)

  Best,

  Premiere does not like Divx convert to a format Premiere likes.
