Premiere Pro v2.0 codec help (help needed badly)
Hello, I recently installed Premiere Pro v2.0 and when after importing clips into the program I do not get any video or audio. I narrowed it down to a codec problem. However, when installing numerous codecs and even trying the “show avi on avi hardware” trick, I still cannot get any video or audio. So, does anybody know of any free codecs that will fix this problem so I can get video and audio and begin editing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How did you “narrow it down” to a codec problem?
Did you try multiple project settings?
If none of them work, I doubt all the codecs could be shot…
What other software is on the machine…any “shareware” codecs or similar free or “open source” media/video utilities?

Right now I have the Xvid codec installed, but that didnt work. I have tried multiple project settings and nothing happened.

PP does not like XVid. That codec is for delivery, not editing.

Ok, then can anyone recommend any codecs that Premiere likes or that willl work?

If the video plays on Windows Media Player, Premiere is just not going to be able to edit your clip. You could use one of a dozen or so media converts like VirtualDub, but the quality will suffer and when you finish editing it and export it…another quality hit.
Premiere Elements can handle highly compressed video better than Pro. -
Tell us more about the clips. Where did you get them? Can you recature from the original tape?
