  Premiere won’t play footage – mpeg’s – help!

  Hey,

  I have posted a post similar to this one, but i didn’t find the answer yet.
  I will explain more detail what is the problem:

  I arrived back from India from a project i filmed.
  I have 11 tapes in total. I used a Sony Z7. Pretty descant HDV camera.

  Normally i do my edits in Final Cut Pro. For commercials(with a lot of graphics work)i work with Premiere/After Effects.
  Because i was thinking of doing some color correction in AE, i thought of doing the hole edit in Premiere. This would be my first HD(V)1080i25(50i) project in Premiere. I did however edited DvcproHD 720p before in Premiere.

  I captured all the tapes and gave the camera back, to the renting house.

  The footage looks good, but i noticed after a while the footage is in mpeg format. When i made a new project a assumed it would be .mov files.
  I just captured everything and assumed it would be ok, even i was a bit confused.
  Suddenly the footage doesn’t play in Premiere. I can scroll, but cant play. Same in Sequence timeline.
  When i look in the finder(im using mac) i cant open the footage with quicktime (qt is updated) and the finder is crashing.
  I can however open it with vlc player and looks good, but some shots(when i scroll)are repeated, very strange.

  I made a view new pp projects, same thing.

  Does anyone had a similar problem? Please help me out on this one!
  Luckily i have a lot off time to finish the project, but i would like to preview everything i have.

  Fcp cant handle the files as well.

  Iff nothing can be done, i can still convert it to something as photo jpeg, proress. I did some test, but the results aren’t really good and they don’t play good in pp.
  Here are some of the results:

  Its obvious the captured footages looks best.
